Track:I Don't Want To Be A Bother
The first time I was born again, everything was one more sinI had Jesus on a notebook then and a fear of his fatherBorn again a second time, conception wasn't so divineYou gotta marry that girl and stay in line and I didn't want to be a botherThe third time I was born again, I left that girl who cheats and thenI found nirvana from within, swaddled up in dirty flannelA family that misunderstood why I had to leave that neighborhoodWell, God's reception wasn't that good and The Devil had a clear channelSo I packed a bag and I left the sticks and joined the class of '96Where MTV's an empty fix with all the other weekly flavorsManson preached a devil's spell but to teenagers that's an easy sellI said you want to be rebellious, you should tell them Jesus is their saviorSo he cast me out, like an exorcist, into the arms of a late night evangelistFor a thousand dollar vow I made the list of all his weekly prayersWell, I guess I would be quite surprised if he were The Devil in disguiseIt would be more clever to hide behind a political agendaSo I turned to the government to make some noise, 'Cause I had one vote and I had one voiceI heard you can't be religious and pro choiceI don't know why I even botherNow I believe in God there is no debate But I believe in separation between church and stateI went back to the church to seal my fate and they brought me to the fatherHe said you can't come in with that point of view Just ask yourself what would Jesus doI would've said Jesus was a rebel tooBut I didn't want to be a botherThe last time I was born again, I found nirvana from withinThe eyes of a girl who took me in, swaddled up in dirty flannelWe went back to my neighborhood and heard you can't get to heaven just being goodI smiled and said that I understoodThere's more at http://myspace.com/brianvanderark and http://brianvanderark.com
