I was raised well
My parents helped me avoid hell
They really helped my brother as well
Nightmares came and sometimes I'd cry
But a prayer strengthened my shell
Soon I began asking why
Its a pointless tradition
So why does god vie
Well my dad says its right so its all fine
How could it ever be a lie?
But something had caught and I was soon burning
With people asking if I believed and would sign
Instead I started learning
The type of things that no-one wanted to be mine
I soon realized how
And I now realize why
The reason people still wear a tie
The passion's burning is set
Even though its so wet
With the tears of people who didn't know what to do
And I was almost one of them too
But the faults and discrepancies,
The homage to ancient rites
Added up to something far right
But I figured out how to do right
And I know why people might
Fail or flail and find a way home,
The stress wasn't light
Because I killed who I was 10 times
Just to get to find a reason that's mine
I want to **** my body too
Which is hard without god
Because it seems everyone gets off to and wants to live with somebody standing there and telling them what to do

And that's just not what I do
Never be afraid to question why you're doing something
