Failed Christian

I'm a failed Christian
I don't go to church
I smoke and I drink
and I lie and I curse
it never got to me
your sermon and all
you talked and talked
about nothing at all
I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian
I've got two recollections
taking the collections
and tears when the choir
sang in harmony
It scared me half to death
I swore as I left
with an inside pocket full
of change and memories
I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian
I'm a failed Christian
I've got my own church
I pray with my soul
to this great universe
all over the world
the bloods on their hands
religious instruction
I can't understand
I'm a failed Christian,
Failed Christian
I'm going to meet my maker
a firm believer
of spirit in music
there's a prayer in a song
I'm a failed Christian
and if I go under
then you're coming with me
that much I can tell
I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian
I'm a failed Christian
I don't go to church
I smoke and I drink
and I lie and I curse
