Bad Religion

Bad Religion As long as I remember - I was left all by myself When trouble crossed my way I stood alone My old man hit the bottle - my mom was running scared The old forgotten prayers turned to stone I'm searching for identity - I don't show who I am The past has cast a shadow over me Like a bad religion - the only one I know I never had no shelter - never had a place to go A bad religion - my life is make-believe Bad religion - I'm beggin' for relief I tried to break the circle - to break the vicious spell But the past is always heavy on my mind I'm dancing with the devil - a dangerous romance A daring way to leave it all behind I'm searching for identity - I don't know who I am The past has cast a shadow over me Like a bad religion - the only one I know I never had no shelter never had a place to go A bad religion - my life is make-believe Bad religion I need someone to talk to - someone to understand I need a friend to lend a helping hand I'm gonna pull myself together - shed this battered skin I'm ready for the challenge - this loser's out to win Like a bad religion - the only one I know I never had no shelter - never had a place to go A bad religion - my life is make-believe Bad religion - I'm beggin' for relief - bad religion
