Failed Christian Songtext
von Nick Lowe

I′m a failed Christian
I don't go to church
I smoke and I drink
And I lie and I curse
It never got to me
Your sermon and all
You talked and talked about nothing at all

I′m a failed Christian
Failed Christian, y'all

I got two recollections
Taking the collection
And tears when the choir sang in harmony
It scared me half to death
I swore as I left
With an inside pocket full of change and memories

Of a failed Christian
Failed Christian


I'm a failed Christian
I′ve got my own church
I pray with my soul to this great universe
All over the world, the blood′s on their hands
Religious instruction I can't understand

I′m a failed Christian
Failed Christian, y'all

I′m gonna meet my maker
A firm believer
Of spirit and music
There's a prayer in a song

I′m a failed Christian
And if I'm going under
Then you're coming with me
That much I can tell
I′m a failed Christian
Failed Christian, y′all

Failed Christian
Failed Christian
Failed Christian
I'm a failed Christian


Failed Christian
Failed, failed Christian
I′m a failed Christian
I'm a failed Christian
I don′t go to church
I smoke and I drink
And I lie and I curse
