What's That Supposed to Mean?
Parody of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" performed by The Police and written by Sting
(1 Peter 2:12, 3:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; Romans 10:14-15; Acts 4:20, 8:26-39; 2 Timothy 2:24; Luke 9:26)

Your T-shirts have subtexts — but still could plant a seed
She's watchin' — those fabrics show stuff she wants to read
Inside you, there's knowledge — disclose it openly
Look sharp, then; she draws close now — this girl just has to say

What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?

Your friends are so zealous — you don't have that courage yet
Sometimes it's not so easy to preach what Jesus said
Impatient crustaceans — they'll gladly make you cry
Just dust off, keep waiting — discard their scorn and try

What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?

Who’s blockin' the path, dude? Two workers, giant-size
Strong persons, tough attitude, tease as you hasten by
They goad you, "Hey, preacher!" — you stop to pray and talk
Just like that, those men there that looked quite bad are shocked

What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?

First Peter 2:12 and 3:15
Ooooh-ooh-ooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooh-ooooh-ooh-oh-ohh

(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?
(Preach what that's supposed to mean)
What's that ... what's that stuff ... what's that supposed to mean?

1 Peter 2:12, 3:15
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us ... But in your
hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who
asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
