Cult

I sat in church while my father preached about sexual sin and pornography Learnin' that I was inherently bad That God was my lover, my brother, my dad And that made me feel kind of dirty inside I was afraid I was the Antichrist Because I felt nothin' whenever I prayed I said I was a republican in the second grade So who's that in the corner listenin' to REM? It's me, losin' my religion again I didn't ask to join, it wasn't my fault Growin' up is like leaving a cult I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult) I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult) I sat in science class and I fantasized About getting killed because I stood up for Christ I'd get a new body, a crown and a mansion I'd be the most popular angel in Heaven "These are the end times", that's what my dad said Don't take the mark of the beast on your forehead There are satanic themes in Dragon Ball Z And secular music on MTV So who's that in the corner listenin' to REM? It's me, losin' my religion again I didn't ask to join, it wasn't my fault Growin' up is like leavin' a cult Who's that in the corner listenin' to REM? It's me, losin' my religion again I'm a little kid ridin' inside a mechanical adult Growin' up is like leavin' a cult I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult) I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult) I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult) I'm leavin' (leavin') Leavin' a cult (leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)
