This is the latest installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is Get Born Again by Alice in Chains.
Lyrics
Sat suffering, I knew him when
Fair-weather friends of mine
Try not to think, I merely blink
Hope you wish away the lies
Can you protect
Me when I’m wrecked
I pretend you’re still alive-ive
Yeah
Who will deny
All in time
All the lies
Who will deny
All in time
All the lies
I choose the day, one damp and gray
Thick fog that hide our smiles
Clear all your sins
Get born again
Just repeat a couple lines-ines
Lines
Yeah, yeah
Who will deny
All in time
All the lies
Can you protect
Me when I’m wrecked
I pretend you’re still alive
I choose the day, one damp and gray
Thick fog that hide our smiles
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Get born again (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Get born again (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Get born again (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Get born again (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Get born again (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
Sat suffering (who will deny, all in time, all the lies)
