[Verse 1]
I don't think that any pastors practice what they preach
'Cause they recite the same old noise a thousand times a week
And my pastor loves to tell me that I am deeply flawed
And I'll never be worthy of being loved by his God
Studied in my Bible, didn't understand a word
But I thought if I made an effort, somehow I'd be heard
God just never answered and I'll never know His voice
But there's so many things I'll remember, all against my choice

[Chorus]
Oh, why must I wear God's disguise?
One day I'll learn who I really am
And why must I go along with your lies
And walk blindly, not guided by your hand?
'Cause my pastor is only a man
And God doesn't really have a plan
My pastor is only a man
And God doesn't really have a plan

[Verse 2]
I don't think that any church would ever welcome me
The kids all ignored what I said, so I just didn't speak
And I was always known as "the awkward rebel teen"
I was desperate and lonely so I begged to be seen
But I don't think that any church would ever really care
If I just disappeared or if I was never there
So I fantasized about the thought of never bein' born
They say that Heaven is lovely, so what am I here for?
[Chorus]
Oh, why must I wear God's disguise?
One day I'll learn who I really am
And why must I go along with your lies
And walk blindly, not guided by your hand?
'Cause my pastor is only a man
And God doesn't really have a plan
My pastor is only a man
And God doesn't really have a plan

[Outro]
Built my house up on the sand
Nothing matters, it's all out of my hands
And no one really understands
That my pastor, he's only a man
