Cult

[Verse 1]
I sat in church while my father preached
About sexual sin and pornography
Learning that I was inherently bad
That God was my lover, my brother, my dad

And that made me feel kind of dirty inside
I was afraid I was the Antichrist
Because I felt nothing whenever I prayed
I said I was a Republican in the second grade

[Chorus]
So who's that in the corner listenin' to REM
It's me, losin' my religion again
I didn't ask to join, it wasn't my fault
Growin' up is like leaving a cult

I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)
I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, lеavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)

[Verse 2]
I sat in science class and I fantasizеd
About getting killed because I stood up for Christ
I'd get a new body, a crown and a mansion
I'd be the most popular angel in heaven

[Bridge]
These are the end times, that's what my dad said
Don't take the mark of the beast on your forehead
There are satanic themes in Dragon Ball Z
And secular music on MTV

[Chorus]
So who's that in the corner listenin' to REM
It's me, losin' my religion again
I didn't ask to join, it wasn't my fault
Growin' up is like leaving a cult

Who's that in the corner listenin' to REM
It's me, losin' my religion again
I'm a little kid ridin' inside a mechanical adult
Growin' up is like leaving a cult

I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)
I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)

I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)
I'm leavin' (Leavin')
Leavin' a cult (Leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult, leavin' a cult)
