Lest We Forget: The Best Of lyrics

And I'm a black rainbow
And I'm an ape of God
I got a face that's made for violence and porn
And I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion
A rebel from the waist down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
For bringing this fucking world to a bitter end
I never really hated the one true God
But the God of the people I hated

I want to fly into your sun
Need faith to make me numb
Live like a teenage Christ
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide

Oh Mary, Mary
To be this young is oh so scary
Mary, Mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road out of hell

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
We need to confess
I will deliver

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive in the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
(Ooh) Tainted love

the drugs, they say
to make us feel so hollow
we love in vain
narcissistic and so shallow
the cops and queers
to swim you have to swallow
hate today
no love for tomorrow
we're all stars now in the dope show
we're all stars now in the dope show

there's lots of pretty, pretty ones
that want to get you high
but all the pretty, pretty ones
will leave you low
and blow your mind

Nothing suffocates you more than the passing of everyday human events
And isolation is the oxygen mask you make your children breath it to survive

I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exist
I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
