I wish that I was ready, I wish I felt the need
To loosen up and let the good lord plant his holy seed
I want to make confession to a priest and make the sign
And be given absolution, never serving any time

I want a pure heaven
And a righteous mind amen
And be forgiven
I swear to God I wish I was born again

I want to mock your science with holy blinders on
I want heathens and dissenters I can look down upon
I want to witness lord Jehova, I want the rug of Christ
My house do need sweeping and I want to keep my vice

I want a pure heaven
And a righteous mind amen
And be forgiven
I swear to God I wish I was born again

Born again, I wished that I was born again
Born again, I wished that I was born again
Born again, I wished that I was born again
Born again and I swear to God I wish I was born again
