La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
And I don't want to spend this friday night
Like I had to spend last friday night
Dying by the record machine
All day cigarettes, all day entertain the void
There are so many things I should be doing
But I don't, and I don't change
All day kerosene, all day I play with matchbooks
I push them all away or burn them alive
In attempts to save me
Regret would require less arrogance
I like my self on the following conditions
That I'm better than the next guy
At everything I'm into
And my looks are important
If I'm less sophisticated
And my girlfriend's a bombshell
And I'm all she's ever dated
And money's an object if it pays for my ego
Power's the drug, and pride s the needle
And it rips through my skin
And goes into my blood stream
I feel like laughing, I feel like choking on it
I don't want to spend this friday night
Picking fights by the record machine
True, but not quite
That I'm tired of the fantasy
And I see the light
But the dark is so accommodating
The worst mistake I cold make
Is watch you walking away
Not that I know how to change
I do it just the same
