Story Behind The Song
first song played at my first ever paid gig (age 16)... re-wrote the new lyrics today... not necessarily religious at all... more of a twist on "faith;" i.e. disdain for commercialism/bad politics in today's society & slight allusion to distrust for romatic relationships with no foundation...

Lyrics
People always tryin to live their life on a dare
TV models tryin to show me what i should wear
sometimes i think the world is damaged beyond repair
radio is played out i'm turnin it off
rockstar falling idols die or go soft
media swine feeding from the trough
oh yeah...
(chorus)
Hey... forgive my lack of faith
if what you say is true
don't shove it in my face
Hey... i have to hesitate
when it comes to you
i don't know what awaits
politicians guaranteein they got a plan
talkin bout things i just can't understand
nobody wants to offer a brother a helping hand
baby, baby bein with you just ain't fair
you say that you love me you tell me you care
but i don't see proof anywhere
no no
(chorus)
Hey... forgive my lack of faith
if what you say is true
don't shove it in my face
Hey... i have to hesitate
when it comes to you
i don't know what awaits
