D A G
The best years of his life, is what he gave to you.
D A G
Never late a day, he's been faithful and true.
D A G
Putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves.
D A G
For over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to
A G A
say, that you're gonna have to cut his pay.
G D
'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 in the ground.
And if there is a god, 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 has more purity, than a whole church-load full of your
child-molesting priests.
It seems you're making him pay for the guilty sins.
Thirty years, and that's the thanks he gets.
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'll have a whole lot to explain.
Lightning bolt, oh lightning bolt, why don't you strike them down?
For what they did they deserve to be a black spot in the ground.
And if there is a god, waiting 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
