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 the 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
Bur 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 the 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
