Lyrics to follow:<\/p>\n<pre>dear preacher, thanks for making time for me today\r\nhope you don't mind if i hide behind the curtain\r\nit's been fifteen years since my last confession\r\nby your good book's standards, i've sinned like a champion\r\nbut that book seems a tad bit out-dated<\/pre>\n<pre>please forgive me, for questioning divinity\r\nit's an ugly job, but i think i'm up for it\r\ni'm not saying who's right\r\ni'm just saying there's more than one way\r\nto skin a religion\r\nthere's more than one way\r\nto explain our existence<\/pre>\n<pre>reverend, sir, i don't want to seem malevolent\r\nmy teenage angst is far behind me\r\nbut father, certainly it's troubling to see\r\nall these people kneeling, instead of dealing\r\nwith the fact that we are all we have<\/pre>\n<pre>so, rise up! rise up!\r\nthere's no one to worship!\r\nbut plenty of life to lose!\r\ni'm not saying \"let's burn down the church\"\r\nbut do you want to hear my confession?\r\nit's my greatest sin..<\/pre>\n<pre>okay, here it is:\r\ni wasted half my life on the thought that i'd live forever!\r\ni wasn't raised, to seize the day, but to work and worship\r\n'cause \"he that liveth and believeth\" supposedly never dies<\/pre>\n<pre>rise up! rise up!\r\nand live a full life!\r\n'cause when it's over, it's done\r\nso rise up! rise up!\r\ndance and scream and love!<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently this YouTube account exists solely for the purpose of allowing you to listen to\u00a0just this one song.
