Always said your prayers, Like a good boy should, like a good boy should, Fingers pressed against the cold glass window watching stars so free, stars so free… You would run but where, Even if you could, even if you could, You could try but you’d never run fast enough to not be seen, not be seen…
Every Sunday morning You would go to your church in your Sunday clothes, Daddy leads a choir of angels, if they’d only know But they’ll never know, never know…
The name of god is never taken in vain But the hand of god is known to cause a multitude of pain, When he speaks through your daddy And he isn’t very pleased So shut your foul ungrateful mouth and get down on your knees…
And have you seen my wounded Jesus Bloodied son of a preacher’s mean touch Nothing like the cold shoulder of a pious man to Show you what true faith in god’s love can’t do
Mama looks away You know she got a dose of that religion yesterday Her sacrifices made Will someday set you free, set you free…
She will not betray Her promises in front of god naively prayed, After years of living without questioning She still believes, she still believes, she still believes…
And have you seen my wounded Jesus Bloodied son of a preacher’s mean touch Nothing like the cold shoulder of a pious man to Show you what true faith in god’s love can’t do
And I can blame his painful indecision On the cruel unyielding arm of his religion Don’t know whether to stay a part of worldly things Or close his eyes and take a breath and spread his wings And fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away, flay away….
Always said your prayers, Like a good boy should, like a good boy should, Fingers pressed against the cold glass window watching stars so free…Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
