Lyrics
[Chorus] Why trust an old, mean religion? Why trust an old, mean religion? 'Cause it shames me every day, Tells me I'm a fool to stray, But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try... Why trust an old, mean religion? No, no, no... Hey, hey, hey! What can I say? [Verse 1] When the preacher’s on the stage, Spittin’ fire, rattlin’ rage, He says the end is comin' soon, Better kneel before your doom. But I don’t feel any grace, Just more fear I gotta face. I ask why, but he says, “No, You’re too lost to ever know!” [Chorus] Why trust an old, mean religion? Why trust an old, mean religion? 'Cause it binds me up in chains, Says my joy is born of pain. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try... Why trust an old, mean religion? No, no, no... Hey, hey, hey! What can I say? [Verse 2] When I read their sacred book, And I take a deeper look, All I see are ancient rules Used to justify some fools. It don’t make me kind or free, Just makes guilt my destiny. So I ask, "Is this divine?" But they tell me, “Don't you whine!” [Chorus] Why trust an old, mean religion? Why trust an old, mean religion? When it tells me not to dance, Or to take a second chance? But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try... Why trust an old, mean religion? No, no, no... Hey, hey, hey! What can I say? [Bridge] It says life’s a heavy cost, You're born guilty, you are lost. But my heart just can't agree, Love is kind, and love is free! [Final Chorus] Why trust an old, mean religion? Why trust an old, mean religion? 'Cause it tells me not to dream, Says the world’s just as it seems. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try... Why trust an old, mean religion? No, no, no... Hey, hey, hey! What can I say? [Outro] No trust, no faith... In that old, mean way. I’ll find my truth... And my soul will stay.
