This song was inspired by a news article that Cheryl read in the early 1990's (approx.) It seems that a small group (repeat, a small group) of Catholics and Protestants had put aside their religious differences (like which one gave her the Myrrh) 
and attempt to find things they could agree on. Apparently, one of the things they found in common was how much they disliked the rest of us.
This song was the result. The part of the chorus that stands out is
To keep the population up
And the homosexuals down
The song is quite funny, although I would imagine that there are parts of the country which would not be a good place to sing this song.

- Some Catholics and Protestants are going to get together
- To make sure all the rest of us just can't have no fun never
- They're tired of our depravity, our outright hanky-panky
- We laugh and dance and carry on and we know it makes 'em cranky
- Apparently they've seen the light, seen how god would like it
- If they see somethin' don't seem right, they'll wield their faith and smite
- it
- They'll bring their overflowing cups and spill them in your town
- To keep the population up and the homosekshules down
- I guess they'll get this world in shape on a more self-righteous note
- And all of us will have to read all the books that Pat Boone wrote
- Pat Robertson will run the thing and if he won't Falwell will
- And Swaggart, he'll just slide around in the lakes of tears he'll spill
- They've read the book, they've seen the plan, the way Jehovah sent it
- They've learned the drill from end to end and now they'll implement it
- They'll bring their overflowing cups and spill them in your town
- To keep the population up and the homosekshules down
- And the world will seem a duller place without no trace of scandal
- I'm scared of being born again, once is all I can handle
- We will march and pray, await the day when we will finally pass on
- Testify in suit and tie, me, I'll have my dress on
- We'll shun the ways of modern days, our souls just can't afford 'em
- While geeks abound we'll hang around till at last we die of boredom
- Apparently they've seen the light, seen how god would like it
- If they see somethin' don't seem right, they'll wield their faith and smite
- it
- They'll bring their overflowing cups and spill them in your town
- To keep the population up and the homosekshules down
