I was born in a pool, they made my mother stand
And I spat on that surgeon and his trembling hand
When I felt the light I was worse than bored
I stole the doctors scalpel and I slit the cord
Refrain:
I was a catholic boy,
Redeemed through pain,
Not through joy
I was two months early they put me under glass
I screamed and cursed their children when the nurses passed
Was convicted of theft when I slipped from the womb
They led me straight from my mother to a cell in the tombs
Repeat refrain
They starved me for weeks, they thought theyd teach me fear
I fed on cellmates dreams, it gave me fine ideas
When they cut me loose, the time had served me well
I made allies in heaven, I made comrades in hell
I was a catholic child
The blood ran red
The blood ran wild
I make angels dance and drop to their knees
When I enter a church the feet of statues bleed
I understand the fate of all my enemies
Just like christ in the garden of gethsemane
Repeat refrain
I watched the sweetest psalm stolen by the choir
I dreamed of martyrs bones hanging from a wire
I make a contribution, I get absolution
I make a resolution to purify my soul
Repeat refrain
They cant touch me now
I got every sacrament behind me:
I got baptism,
I got communion,
I got penance,
I got extreme unction
Ive got confirmation
cause Im a catholic child
The blood ran red
The blood ran wild!
Now Im a catholic man
I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can.
