Never claimed to be a model citizen, but I'm getting by

Used to drink and once I ate a whole cigarette,

but now I'm doing fine

Had to work out life without religion as a crutch

But some people struggle, inner demons are too much

There's a message for them

Red wine and altar boys are no way

to relieve your troubled mind

As a teenager he longed for a family

Waited for a sign to tell him why

He didn't feel like the other guys

Not that way inclined

Assessed the options for repressing inner truth

Of being ostracized or turning to the cloth

Put your head in the sand

Red wine and altar boys are no way to relieve your

troubled mind

No way to relieve your troubled mind

Twenty years of angry guilt and hypocrisy

just to pass the time

Twenty victims and a government

cover-up tow the party line

You fucked up innocence with holy blessings and the

index finger of christ

And you prayed and it felt nice

And forgiveness is your god given right but

Red wine and altar boys are no way to relieve your

troubled mind
