When I was a kid, I'd pretend I was adopted
And that's why I didn't understand the things that my dad did
But we don't talk no more and that's probably for the best
I was closer to my mother anyways
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
But this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
I went to a Baptist school, I read the book of Joe
And I thought that maybe God was just a bit too harsh on him
He covered his body with boils just to try to test his faith
But now I realize God was just having a bad self esteem day
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
And this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
It felt like Summer '68 in winter '91
When college stations were the only reason I'd wake up
I left the bible home and gave up contact with my dad
I gave up hoping that the world would start to make more sense
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
But this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
And that's why I didn't understand the things that my dad did
But we don't talk no more and that's probably for the best
I was closer to my mother anyways
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
But this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
I went to a Baptist school, I read the book of Joe
And I thought that maybe God was just a bit too harsh on him
He covered his body with boils just to try to test his faith
But now I realize God was just having a bad self esteem day
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
And this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
It felt like Summer '68 in winter '91
When college stations were the only reason I'd wake up
I left the bible home and gave up contact with my dad
I gave up hoping that the world would start to make more sense
When you're young and impressionable, some evils can sink in
The best that you can do is try to retain innocence
But this is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been, oh, this is how I'll stay
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
This is how it's been all my life
