My Pastor Lyrics

I don't think that any pastors practice what they preach

'Cause they recite the same old words

A thousand times a week

And my pastor loves to tell me that I am deeply flawed

And I'll never be worthy of being loved by his god

I studied in my Bible didn't understand a word

But I thought if I made an effort then

Somehow I'd be heard

God just never answered and I'll never hear his voice

But there's so many things I'll remember

All against my choice

Oh why must I wear gods disguise

One day I'll learn who I really am

And why must I go along with your lies

And walk blindly not guided by your hand

'Cause my pastor is only a man

And god doesn't really have a plan

My pastor is only a man

And god doesn't really have a plan

I don't think that any church would ever welcome me

The kids all ignored what I said

So I just didn't speak

And I was always known as the awkward rebel teen

I was desperate and lonely so I begged to be seen

But I don't think that any church would have really cared

If I just disappeared or if I was never there

So I fantasized about the thought of never being born

They say that heaven is lovely so

What am I here for

Oh why must I wear gods disguise

One day I'll learn who I really am

And why must I go along with your lies

And walk blindly not guided by your hand

'Cause my pastor is only a man

And god doesn't really have a plan

My pastor is only a man

And god doesn't really have a plan

Built my house up on the sand

Nothing matters it's all out of my hands

And no one really understands

That my pastor is only a man
