I prayed to Jesus
It helped me none
I prayed to myself
It helped a ton

I prayed to the lord
Got nothing done
I prayed to what I believe in
I am the one

I lost my power
When I relied
Every waking hour
On his word, I'd abide

Idling latent
I never got what I hoped for
I tried being patient
But I admit that I got bored

I prayed to Jesus
It helped me none
I prayed to myself
It helped a ton

I prayed to the almighty
Wish I hadn't prayed
I prayed to what I believe in
I am a man self-made

Don't give me trouble
(No, don't give me that)
I'm fine with myself
No, don't give me any flack

I like myself
It's who I am
I believe in myself
Don't give a damn about being damned.
