Lucifer (Hazbin Hotel version) sports an angry face, long horns, and flames between them. He holds his equally pissed daughter Charlie.

No Amish person has lobbied to take away my electricity.
No Amish person has tried to remove books on electricity from the school library.
No Amish person has spent millions backing anti-tech politicians.
No Amish person has tried to force Amish theology on my child.
I'm cool with the Amish too.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
