lyrics

I traveled around the nation
Met a man whose life means rejection
Tossed him a smile for his affliction
Was that the price of guilt or compassion

Am I a victim of religion
Or just a product of civilization
Will the Lord reward our good actions
Or is it just another illusion
Because I know I don’t belong here
Because I know I don’t belong in heaven

I traveled around the nation
Met a woman named Salvation
She offered me her love and affection
And every kiss and hug felt like prison

Am I a victim of religion
Or just a product of civilization
Will the Lord reward our good actions
Or is it just another illusion
Because I know I don’t belong here
Because I know I don’t belong in heaven

And I traveled around the nation
Met a man who sold hope and potions
He said my life was sad, had a solution
For a fee I’ll grant you elation

Now am I a victim of religion
Or just a product of civilization
Will the Lord reward our good actions
Or is it just another illusion
Because I know I don’t belong here
Because I know that I don’t belong in heaven
Yes, I know that I don’t belong here
And I know that I don’t belong in heaven

And I traveled around the nation
Saw little children starving
I would gladly sell my soul if I have one
If the Devil gives them meals and education

Now am I a victim of religion
Or just a product of civilization
Will the Lord reward our good actions
Or is it just another illusion
Because I know I don’t belong here
And I know that I don’t belong in heaven
And I know that I don’t belong here
And I know that I don’t belong in heaven
