Never claimed to be a model citizen, but I'm getting by Used to drink and once I ate a whole cigarette, but now I'm doing fine Had to work out life without religion as a crutch But some people struggle, inner demons are too much There's a message for them Red wine and altar boys are no way to relieve your troubled mind As a teenager he longed for a family Waited for a sign to tell him why He didn't feel like the other guys Not that way inclined Assessed the options for repressing inner truth Of being ostracized or turning to the cloth Put your head in the sand Red wine and altar boys are no way to relieve your troubled mind No way to relieve your troubled mind Twenty years of angry guilt and hypocrisy just to pa** the time Twenty victims and a government cover-up tow the party line You f**ed up innocence with holy blessings and the index finger of christ And you prayed and it felt nice And forgiveness is your god given right but Red wine and altar boys are no way to relieve your troubled mind
