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
 I¹m 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
