The Projects - The Addict Lyrics

I once knew a girl
Sweet as could be

But she had a past
Dark as could be

So much back
Addictions to addictions

Went off to rehab
It changed her life
It changed her

She gave up one addiction for another

Have her life over to Jesus

Went to church every Sunday
Wednesday

Ran off to be a missionary

All for Jesus, she gave her life up and found a new addiction

Says she's a friend
Preaches Jesus to everyone around her

Never once realizing her religion
Had become the drug

She told her sister
Poor girl couldn't have an abortion
That child was a present from God

Sent to her by a rapist

Oh that girl gave up her life for Jesus

Became a figure head for a church

Found an all new addiction

Traded in one drug for another


Religion becomes a drug

It enters your life
Becomes your addiction

Before you even know it you've become another form of commercialization

Selling your ideas to bring others in

Swear you're only wanting to save souls

But who will come to save yours

Cause you've only found a new addiction

You're still just an addict

You'll always be an addict

Whether is for Jesus

Or a drink or drug

There is no real difference
