Steve Taylor - It's a Personal Thing lyrics

It's a personal thing, and I find it odd You would question my believing in a personal God I'm devout, I'm sincere, ask my mother if you doubt it I'm religious, but I'd rather not get radical about it And the old-time believers had timidity and grace But this new generation doesn't know its place You're entitled to believe, but the latest Gallup Poll Says you mustn't interfere--that's the government's role 'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring Before you know, know, know, it's a personal thing And when it comes to the day of reckoning, He's gonna tell 'em, "Uh, uh, uh, it's a personal thing" It's a personal thing, and I boldly state That my views on morality will have to wait 'Til my personal life's out of the public eye And the limitations statue can protect my alibi I'm devout, I'm sincere, and I'm proud to say That it's had exactly no effect on who I am today I believe for the benefit of all mankind In the total separation of church and mind 'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring Before you know, know, know, it's a personal thing And when it comes to the day of reckoning He's gonna tell 'em, "Uh, uh, uh, it's a personal thing" It's a personal thing, and I plainly speak (From the same code of ethics that I held last week) As I promised if elected this election day With the help of God almighty, I'll do it my way 'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring Before you know, know, know, it's a personal thing And when it comes to the day of reckoning He's gonna say, "Back off, buddy, it's a personal thing"
