The best years of his life is what he gave to you
Never late a day he's been faithful and true
putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves
for over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to say
That now you're gonna have to cut his pay
'cause one of your priests did such an awful thing
Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down
for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground
And if there is a god living up there in the clouds
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now
Somehow these monsters all seem higher than the law
They won't see any punishment at all
He didn't give a damn about your god or your church
He was just an honest man looking for some honest work
And in his little finger he's got more purity
than a whole church load full of your child molesting priests
It seems that you're making him pay for the guilty sins
Thirty years and that's the thanks he gets
Well it's hard to imagine there could be a greater sin
than using your trust for abusing a kid
As hard as it may seem, well I think that there is
and you're committing it by protecting these old evil men
And if there really is a judgement day
you're gonna have a whole lot to explain
