Closer To God It's the ballad of a Catholic boy Full of Catholic hopes and joys Genuflect and say your prayers Confess your sins and God will share Bastard Grammar School God fearing Discipline and saving beatings But no one knows where we're going to No one knows where we've been No one taught anything at school As a child made confirmation Choose your Saint Then choose your station Hurt the child
Then shove it love It's just violence in a velvet glove Sunday, Church, Confess to Father, repent your sins Confess to Father Four Hail Mary's, be forgiven There's something inside, I'm driven Just when I thought I'd lost my way I'm feeling closer now I'm getting closer now Closer to God
