I exchange truth for a lie, I wanna be born again but I don't wanna die.
I'm conceited and righteous and so I pour out my vengeance,
I'm like a criminal judge and I give the maximum sentence,
I'm righteous all by myself and I have no need of repentance
I'm like an atheist priest sowing death with my blessings,
I'm a professor of lies here to give you a lesson,
I'm like a man with no eyes here to point the direction,
I'm like the kind of the dead, I've got a tomb with a view
and I've tidied the bones so it looks good to you,
Is that too honest, are you shocked that a sinner sins?
Now it's behind me but I might go back again.
My vice is nothing when compared to my greates sin.
My greates sin is my religion.
I exchange truth for a lie, I wanna be born again but I don't wanna die.
I wanna know God's heart and so I pick it apart,
I classify label stick it up on a chart,
I've got a Bible and scalpel I'm vivisectin His mind
until I've mastered each chapter every verse every line.
I'll build a stairway to heaven from the tower of Babel
and I've doscovered a way to rise above all the rabble,
I'll cut you off at the knees then you'll be shorter than me
and I'll take eye after eye till it's just me that can see.
Is that too honest, are you shocked that a sinner sins?
Now it's behind me but I might go back again.
My vice is nothing when compared to my greates sin.
My greates sin is my religion.
I exchange truth for a lie, I wanna be born again but I don't wanna die.
I exchange truth for a lie, I wanna be born again but I don't wanna die.
I'm done with my critique before you start to speak,
I'm on the upper echelon you haven't sneaked a peak.
I'll send a telegram when it's convenient and
I'm busy lovin' people I can't love a single man,
because I'm glancin' at the larger photograph.
I'll read a book I've got no time to walk the narrow path.
I'll write a paper on it using words like "synchronistic"
then post a blog so other jerks can find a problem with it.
I exchange truth for a lie, I wanna be born again but I don't wanna die.
