Chart History
From the album Infest, Last Resort was a #1 hit for Papa Roach in 2001.

Songwriter:
Papa Roach


J's Journal:
"Last Resort" was about somebody at the end of their rope, trying to decide if they wanted to hang themselves with it.  "Life Restored" is about somebody at the beginning of their hope, trying to share it with others.  I'm pretty sure I got the idea for this song while mowing the lawn the Saturday before Easter in 2001.  We've had people tell us personally that God used this song to bring them to Christ.  That's best thing anybody can tell us about one of our parodies.

Life Restored
Parody of "Last Resort" by Papa Roach
(Romans 3:10-23, 5:8, 6:23, 8:1, 10:9)

Plug my life into Jesus -- this gets my life restored
Such a cakewalk -- no brainer
Don't need to fuss if I call on our savior
This gets my life restored
Plugged my life into Jesus -- I've seen my life restored
Such a cakewalk -- no brainer
Don't need to fuss since I called Him my savior
Do not even care if I die later
Cause I belong to Jesus Christ
If they took my life tonight -- chances are I'd arrive
In a place that's out of sight -- and I'm confident I'm doin' fine
'Cause I'm improving my life, renewing my mind
This all started with Romans 10:9
Doing what's right, doin' quite fine
This all started with Romans 10:9
I never realized I was meant to live
To live a new life if I would let Him within
Told me -- death is the payoff for living in sin
End the cycle when you're born again
It all started when I first discovered
The Book on my shelf and read cover to cover
Searching -- to find religion that held my attention
Finding -- something called Christian redemption
'Cause I'm improving my life, renewing my mind
This all started with Romans 10:9
Doing what's right, doin' quite fine
This all started with Romans 10:9
I'll be all right -- I'll be just fine
You're runnin' out of time
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I can't go wrong living this way
Plug my life into Jesus
This gets my life restored
Selfish nature -- don't need it
Go give it up -- you can conquer your demons
Would it be wrong for me to pry
If you give your life to Christ -- Chances are dynamite
You will make it out alive -- and I'm confident you'll do it right
'Cause I'm improving my life, renewing my mind
This all started with Romans 10:9
Doing what's right, doin' quite fine
This all started with Romans 10:9
I'll be all right -- I'll be just fine -- You're runnin' out of time
I can't go wrong livin' this way -- Can't go wrong living this way
I'll be all -- right
