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
