Bad Religion

(Album: Death Row - 1994)

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 begging 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 begging for relief bad religion
