Born Again

[Placid Dingo]

Partially inspired from here

Na na na na nihilism
I'm replacing plastic thoughts with a purity of vision
A new appreciation of an improved intuition
On a mission; saving minds, good choice, good decision

Because every thought 
I ever had
was wrong and bad
Barely a fad
Though technical like AutoCAD

And a new belief's
A true belief 
Hang it high
In the sky
Shining like a Christmas wreath

Too high for an ideology thief
Needs to learn to respect my belief
Respect my belief

I'm a born again Confucian I'm a born again La Rouchan
I'm a born again Buddhist I'm born again nudist
I'm a born again pop culture hack 
Lying on my back struck down with Lupus
I'm a born again communist
Found my way onto McCarthy's list
Shot down dead through the head with a mind bullet
Psychic warfare that you just can't resist
Buried secretly and then
Back up, fired up, fresh faced, born again
I'm a born again Capitalist
With a leather jacket and a rolex on my wrist
Killed off by a moral crisis
Born back into revolution ready for sacrifices
Yelling when the price is right
You'd better learn to fight, alright 
Yelling Na na na na na nihilism 
I'm replacing plastic thoughts with a purity of vision
A new appreciation of an improved intuition
On a mission; saving minds, good choice, good decision

Because every thought 
I ever had
was wrong and bad
Barely a fad
Though technical like AutoCAD

And a new belief's
A true belief 
Hang it high
In the sky
Shining like a Christmas wreath

Too high for an ideology thief
Needs to learn to respect my belief
Respect my belief

I'm a born again transcendentalist 
A born again accidental terrorist
I'm born again into thick swirling mist
A born again lover with lips unkissed
I'm a born again Discordian
Playing Weird Al on a two dollar accordion 
I'm spreading the word like, there's this guy
Called Malcalypse, man, I don't know of you've heard of him?
A born again Christian
Second time lucky, hoping Jesus will listen
Heart full of love like I'm on a mission
Pumped up fat with theological ambition
I'm a born again anarchist
Raise up my hand and make a fist
Standing up on stage with red shirts and rage
Tearing down the state like they can't resist
I look into the mirror, and 
I feel like I'm seeing Franz Ferdinand
Punch out and it shatters 
hits the floor and scatters
Not even sure if it matters
Look into the shards to see a thousand faces
All mine trapped in different times and places 
Handing out different brands of propaganda
Drunk and laughing leaning over my veranda
Yelling na na na na na nihilism 
 I'm replacing plastic thoughts with a purity of vision
A new appreciation of an improved intuition
On a mission; saving minds, good choice, good decision

Because every thought 
I ever had
was wrong and bad
Barely a fad
Though technical like AutoCAD

And a new belief's
A true belief 
Hang it high
In the sky
Shining like a Christmas wreath

Too high for an ideology thief
Needs to learn to respect my belief
Respect my belief

I'm a born again
Guy-who-thinks-it's-ok-to-watch-porn again
Shot from the tomb to the womb again
I wish that this would stop happening
Because every time I'm born again 
It means I've gone off and died again
Wait six seconds to respawn again
A big black stain on my pride again
In the night ideas start seeding
All of a sudden I'm on my back bleeding
A strange lost look goes and crosses my face and
Bang! Holy fuck, surprise! Reincarnation!
Confusion has increased 
I feel like I'm perpetually recently deceased 
I feel like maybe I should call my priest
Have him record last rights so I can put them on repeat
A beat beat on the drum
I feel like I know the tune but all I can do is hum
True is the fire the spark has begun
I got a new religion man, you wanna try some?
Every idea you have is you and you forever so never ever 
let them in, let them win, 
let them begin to convince you otherwise
Shield your mind, shield your eyes
Scream na na na na na nihilism 
Replace plastic thoughts with a purity of vision
A new appreciation of an improved intuition
On a mission; saving minds, good choice, good decision

Because every thought 
You ever had
was wrong and bad
Barely a fad
Though technical like AutoCAD

And a new belief's
A true belief 
Hang it high
In the sky
Shining like a Christmas wreath

Too high for an ideology thief
Needs to learn to respect your belief
Respect my belief

Nice!
i love it.  great chorus. 
have you got plans to put it to music?

[Placid Dingo]

No plans: my musical skill is limited.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Preety good shit right there. I might have to think it over a bit more. Suns not up yet.

[Placid Dingo]

Thanks.

[Elder Iptuous]

i particularly liked the line in the chorus:

And a new belief's
A true belief
Hang it high
In the sky[/i]

was this derived from something specific, or did you hock that gem up yerself?
i love it.

Cheers. Apart from the 'every thought you have is you forever' I either made it myself or only stole it subconciously.
