You stole from my life and the endearing part of my youth You led me thru and all around in your circus you called ‘truth’ Take a knee and learn to submit, it’s the only way! You said it was to God, but somehow you were always in the way Never again – Never again – never again Will I submit to you! Never again – Never again – never again Will I bend to you! With trembling hands, I remember terror when I look at these scars The tears of hate would roll as I ponder how you’d go so far Scatter the sheep, and the shepherd moves in for the kill Shear the little ones many times, skin them only once of their will Never again – Never again – never again Will I submit to you! Never again – Never again – never again Will I bend to you! You prayed for the well, while the sick couldn’t make it to the stage Performed ill-licensed counsel while playing the role of a sage I learned to hate myself, to be ashamed of what I feel Unable to determine from what is a farce and what is real Never again – Never again – never again Will I submit to you! Never again – Never again – never again Will I bend to you!
