You can take me to the prom
Promise not to tell your mom
Mama never tells you why
While she kicks you in the eye
I don’t think she understands
I just wanna hold your hand
I don’t even own a car so we couldn’t get that far
Father Markus said to me
Just confess and you’ll be free
Sit you down upon my lap
Tell me your sins just like that
He said, baby, know the rules
Your living in a catholic school
All the teachers said your fine
But they don’t have dirty minds
I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot be made to stay
Life’s a journey anyway
Life’s a journey anyway-hey-hey
Teacher, teacher please make me well
I don’t want to go to hell
Teacher, teacher what can I do?
I don’t know boy, it’s up to you
It’s time to free your mind
It’s time to cleanse your soul
It’s time to free your mind
It’s time to cleanse your soul
Yo Father forgive me for I have sinned
I’d rather talk to God but He’s out and you’re in
It’s a little complicated but Father don’t sweat it
You can hear me out or you can just forget it
Now I haven’t been to church in about ten years
And one time I had to pull my little sister’s ears
But I’m not really violent and it shows
I go for flower power as that stupid song goes
Sometimes I tell a lie but only when it’s true
And I often say things like “shit” and “fuck you”
I like to read a lot of dirty comic books
And I’ve given dirty teachers a lot of dirty looks
But this is the last thing that I’m ever gonna say
It’s embarrassing for me to talk to you this way
But before I forget and before I carry on
I stole a table napkin from a fancy restaurant
Now please father tell me tell me what I gotta do
I am full of guilt and now it’s up to you
Now please father tell me tell me what I gotta do
I am full of guilt and now it’s up to you, hey!
Just say ten Hail Marys
21 Glory Bes
13 Our Fathers
And a hundred Amen
Amen (repeat 11x)
Waaaahh!
You can take me to the prom
Promise not to tell your mom
Mama never tells you why
While she kicks you in the eye
I don’t think she understands
I just wanna hold your hand
I don’t even own a car so we couldn’t get that far
I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot be made to stay
Life’s a journey anyway
I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot be made to stay
Life’s a journey anyway
Life’s a journey anyway-hey-hey
Aaaah (repeat 4x)
