Song Meaning

With a playful, rallying energy, this track turns the idea of hell into something believers can actively resist through unity and action. The repeated call to "boycott hell" is less about a literal consumer protest and more about a collective refusal to let sin and separation have the final say. The lyrics urge listeners to set aside pride, recognize their God-given gifts, and join together in a "holy picket line" to reach those around them before time runs out. The song's urgency is palpable—there's a job to do and no time to waste. Interestingly, the rap interlude steps back to poke fun at the song itself, acknowledging that the message is right even if the rhymes are a bit clunky, which adds a layer of self-aware humor without undermining the call to action. At its core, the song is a spirited invitation to live out faith boldly, not in isolation but shoulder to shoulder with others, making a tangible difference in the world.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

We've gotta job to do.
We're runnin' out of time to do it.
You've got a gift to use.
Get out in the world and use it.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Hey, don't you think it's time
to boycott hell?
Boycott hell.

We've got the strength to win
standing arm in arm together.
Forget our differences,
we can change the world forever.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Hey, don't you think it's
time to boycott hell?

Don't let a neighbor go,
form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time
to boycott hell.

[Rap by Steve Taylor:]
Guess who comin' through
with a little disclaimer.
Tune's OK but the words
are gettin' lamer.
Ain't no saint can legitimitize.
Rhymin' "pride" with "time" with "unionize".

See I agree we oughta boycott hell.
But we oughta boycott
dumb lyrics as well.

Don't let a neighbor go,
form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time
to boycott hell.

We've got a job to do.
We're running out of time to do it.
You've got a gift to use.
Get out in the world and use it.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Hey, don't you think it's time
to boycott hell.

Boycott hell.
