The word of God says that we will receive
Praise of God. God will begin to speak forth, our
Righteousness is of him, sayith the Lord

Get back
Can you feel I'm not like you anymore
I can't see
I can't breathe
See you quiver like the dogs on the street
Looking down on as I beat you
Oh, its a bad religion
From a broken nation
Its a contradiction
And I can't take it anymore, yeah
Who's ta say I won't like you anyway?
Take a deep breath
I'm alive
Can you hear me
I'm alive inside you
Agony creeps up behind you
Oh, Its a bad religion (Bad religion)
From a broken nation (A broken nation)
Its a contradiction
And I can't take it any f***ing more

Its a bad religion (bad religion, bad religion, bad religion)
From a broken nation (Broken nation)
Its a contradiction
Yeah
Can you feel it?
I gotta live with it everyday
And I can't take the pressure
I'm goin' insane
Now go away

Go away
Now you start praising God where ever you
Are. I don't care where you are, I don't care what is
Happening, just begin to praise God, just begin to
Praise him and praise him and praise him and praise
Him and worship him, and bless him

Its a bad religion (bad religion, bad religion, bad religion)
From a broken nation (Broken nation)
Its a contradiction
Yeah
Can you feel it?
I gotta live with it everyday
And I can't take the pressure
I'm goin' insane
Now go away
