Stink of the World (from the CD "Grown-Up Kid")

My brain needs washing
Living water sloshing
I got the stink of the world on me
My heart needs mercy
God, forgive me
I got the stink of the world on me
One shuffle on my iPod
Is all that it takes to forget about God and then,
Oh, no – one bratty TV show
And there I go again…
My brain needs washing
Living water sloshing
I got the stink of the world on me
My heart needs mercy
God, forgive me
I got the stink of the world on me
One little lie to my Mom or Dad
Is all that it takes to make God’s Spirit sad, and then
oh, no – an Internet video –
And there I go again…
My brain needs washing
Living water sloshing
I got the stink of the world on me
My heart needs mercy
God, forgive me
I got the stink of the world on me
Wash me clean, God
Make me new
As I read your word, God
Draw me to you
And then oh, yeah!
One simple heartfelt prayer
No more despair, oh yeah!
My brain needed washing
Living water sloshing
I got the stink of the world off me
My heart needed mercy, and
God forgave me
I got the stink of the world off me
I got the stink of the world off me
I got the stink – stink – stink – stink – stink
Of the world off me
