Religion
I was on my knees again
Begging for my ways to change
But the truth I uncovered, the pressure I'm under
To please you has gone away
You're a temptress, you're to blame
For the guilt I can't displace
Though there's winters and summers
And so much has changed
You're the fortress for my shame
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
I was lost inside her arms
Trying to climb my way back out
But it ain't what you got or the buildings you bought
That'll save you from the sound
She's a needy harlequin
Built by greed and selfish men
Though it's easy to love her for all you discover
She's bound to fall again
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Oh, is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
Begging for my ways to change
But the truth I uncovered, the pressure I'm under
To please you has gone away
You're a temptress, you're to blame
For the guilt I can't displace
Though there's winters and summers
And so much has changed
You're the fortress for my shame
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
I was lost inside her arms
Trying to climb my way back out
But it ain't what you got or the buildings you bought
That'll save you from the sound
She's a needy harlequin
Built by greed and selfish men
Though it's easy to love her for all you discover
She's bound to fall again
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Oh, is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got
