It's the ballad of a Catholic boy Full of Catholic hopes and joys Genuflect and say your prayers Confess your sins and God will share ba*tard Grammar School God fearing Discipline and saving beatings But no one knows where we're going to No one knows where we've been No one taught anything at school As a child made confirmation Choose your Saint
Then choose your station Hurt the child Then shove it love It's just violence in a velvet glove Sunday, Church Confess to Father, repent your sins Confess to Father Four Hail Mary's, be forgiven There's something inside, I'm driven Just when I thought I'd lost my way I'm feeling closer now I'm getting closer now Closer to God
