Lyrics of 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
Im searching for identity -
I dont 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 - im beggin for relief
I tried to break the circle - to
Break the vicious spell
But the past is always heavy
On my mind
Im dancing with the devil -
A dangerous romance
A daring way to leave it all behind
Im searching for identity -
I dont 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
Im gonna pull myself together -
Shed this battered skin
Im ready for the challenge -
This losers 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 - im beggin for
Relief - bad religion
