Bad Religion lyrics

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 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'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
