Accept – 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
