The best years of his life is what he gave to you. Never late a day he's been faithful and so 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 cus one of your priests did such an awful thing.

Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why won'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're not gonna 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...

    General Comment:I know its a bit more accuesatory than most of their songs, but it was Chris' dad who got the pay cut after a life of loyalty, and so naturally he's very pissed about it.

    General Comment:Pedophiles suck, but I do feel sorry for them. I'd hate to have that kind of urge and then society hates me.
