Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.

Bm It's the principle G it's the issue DA that your priciple will dismiss you
BmG Because you don't fit into that all-American box DA that coffin created for created thought
Chorus:
G Its disgusting A his priority BmD And how were entrusting him AG with authority
GAD The gavels gone down before he looked in your heart BmAGA He finished this racism before he reached the start
DA Jesus loved the outcasts DAG He loves the one the world just loves to hate DA And as long as there's a heaven DAG There'll be a Failure to Excommunicate
Play this part three times
Verse 2:
Bm The world just keeps you G at an arm's length DA Every week you work up the strength BmG to fight the flames that are hurled let you faith shine D right through A you know its the world verses Jesus and you
Chorus:
G Its disgusting A his priority BmD And how were entrusting him AG with authority
GAD The gavels gone down before he looked in your heart BmAGABm He finished this racism before he reached the start
