Backslider Lyrics

Artist: The Toadies

Bended knee
Nine years old
Waitin' for...
Just one word!
I was thinkin' of all the things
My daddy told me of
Sin and salvation and
Manhood and dignity...

All that time
In the dark
Just one word...
Backslider!

I remember the day I stepped
Into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed my head under
And said...

Son I am
So proud.
Just one word...
Backslider!

Well I opened my eyes
And my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
And thought I saw Jesus, and then...

Well I threw up my hands!
Ind I heard, Amen!
And I prayed, sweet Jesus
Don't let me become a backslider!

by Alan on 4/8/2009 11:11am FYI: The old testament was originally meant as a book of fictional writings to teach people morality, then when people took the book to seriously, conmen turned it into a way to control the weak minded and formed a religion using a headman (Jesus) to spread the word, and wrote the new testament. Religion was meant to be a social control mechanism, nothing more. Also I love The Toadies!!!
