Is listening to a song that contains words that may lead to apostasy, and repeating them verbally with inner disapproval, considered apostasy that invalidates prayer and subsequent deeds? What is the ruling on the prayer of someone who cursed religion jokingly, while unaware of the nullifiers of Islam and the conditions of repentance, and does his prayer bring him into Islam? And is it true that the prayer of someone who cursed religion does not bring him into Islam?

Repeating song lyrics is not considered disbelief unless one's heart is opened to them, because narrating disbelief is not disbelief itself. One must be wary of intrusive thoughts (waswas) and ignore them, paying them no attention, for the default state is the preservation of one's Islamic faith. General repentance erases all sins, including apostasy, should it hypothetically have occurred.
