lightning bolt

the best years of his life is what he gave to you

never late a day he's been faithful and true

putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves

for over thirty years now and i can't believe you have the nerve to say

that you're gonna have to cut his pay

because one of your priests did such an awful thing

lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down

for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground

and if there is a god up there in the clouds

i cant imagine a better time to show his wrath than now

some how these monsters all seem higher than the law

they wont see any punishments at all

he didn't give a damn about your god or your church

he was just an honest man looking for some honest work

and in his little finger he has more purity

than a whole church load full of your child molesting priests

its seem you're making him pay for the guilty sins

thirty years and thats the thanks he gets

its hard to imagine there can be a greater sin

than using your trust for abusing a kid

as hard as it may seem well i think that there isn't

you're committing it by protecting these old evil men

and if there really is a judgement day

you'll have a whole lot to explain

lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down

for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground

and if there is a god waiting up there in the clouds

i cant imagine a better time to show his wrath than now

some how these monsters all seem higher than the law

they wont see any punishment at all
