2143 - Messiah (britpop, post-punk, spoken-word punk)

[Intro] I'm not a messiah Don't believe anything I say I'm a serial liar I'm a bullshitter I'm a modern clown I don't have no religion I'm not really into that stuff I'm a truth seeker I'm a free thinker I'm a son of a gun You know what I'm sayin'? Come on [Verse 1] This world is such a... (Yeah) And I can see why the religious people are confused I can see why the holy books have been abused I can see why the prophets have been misused 'Cause all that pain They had to be born again If you don't think for yourself You could be put in chains 'Cause there are evil people who wanna take your brain There are evil people who wanna take your brain If you know what I'm sayin' Let me hear you say [Pre-Chorus] I'm not a messiah Don't believe anything I say I'm a serial liar I'm a bullshitter I'm a modern clown I don't have no religion I'm not really into that stuff I'm a truth seeker I'm a free thinker I'm a son of a gun [Chorus] They said "I wanna take you out to church And show you the way to save your soul" I said "You can try But it won't work I sold my soul for a pot of gold I wanna take you out to church And show you the way to save your soul" I said "You can try But it won't work I sold my soul for a pot of gold" [Verse 2] In the name of the Father Son and the Holy Ghost Who they say who did the most They say that it's the Holy Ghost Said if you believe in him Then you will see the heavenly host So I put my hands together and I began to boast My hands on my head I said I never felt like this I can feel it in my chest I said I never felt like this All I could do was cry Said I never felt like this I don't wanna die Said I never felt like this And now I see why [Pre-Chorus] I'm not a messiah Don't believe anything I say I'm a serial liar I'm a bullshitter I'm a modern clown I don't have no religion I'm not really into that stuff I'm a truth seeker I'm a free thinker I'm a son of a gun
