I just can't believe all the things people say Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? Controversy
Controversy Controversy
I can't understand human curiosity, Controversy
Was it good for you? Was I what you wanted me to be? Controversy
Do you get high? Does your daddy cry? Controversy
Controversy Controversy

Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me?
Some people want to die so they can be free
(I said) Life is just a game, we're all just the same, do you want to play?
Controversy Controversy Controversy
Controversy Controversy Controversy

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever
Controversy Controversy Controversy Controversy
Love Him, Love Him baby
Controversy Controversy Controversy
Controversy Controversy Controversy

Listen
People call me rude, I wish we were all nude
I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules
(repeat 3 times)
Controversy Controversy

Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? Let me tell ya...
Some people want to die so they can be free
(I said) Life is just a game, we're all just the same...don't ya want to play?
Controversy Controversy Controversy Controversy
