lirik lagu catholic boy – the jim carroll band
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 doctor’s scalpel and i slit the cord
i was a catholic boy
redeemed through pain
not through joy
i was two months early, they put me under gl-ss
i screamed and cursed at children when the nurses p-ssed
was convicted of theft when i slipped from the womb
they led me straight from my mother to a cell in the tombs
i was a catholic boy
i was redeemed through pain
not through joy
they starved me for weeks, they thought they’d teach me fear
i fed on cell mates’ 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 h-ll
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
i was a catholic boy
redeemed through pain
not through joy
i watched the sweetest psalm stolen by our 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
but i’m a catholic boy
redeemed through pain
not through joy
they can’t touch me now
i got every sacrament behind me
i got baptism
i got communion
i got penance
i got extreme unction
i’ve got confirmation
’cause i was a catholic child
when the blood ran red
the blood ran wild
and now
now i’m a catholic man
i put my tongue to the rail whenever i can
