  • Songs of Sacrilege: Born Secular by Jenny Lewis

    This is the forty-eighth 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 Born Secular by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.

    Lyrics

    I was born secular
    And inconsolable
    I heard that he walked
    He walked the earth

    God goes
    Where he wants
    And who knows
    Where he is not
    Not in me

    It’s the way
    Mothers greet their sons
    When it’s a moment too late
    It’s the law of the land
    That sometimes the dam just breaks

    God works in mysterious ways
    And God gives
    And then he takes
    From me
    From me
