Lyrics
Chorus: (In God we trust) Boy, don't tell us your lies,
No nun or priest would do the things you say,
We give so much money - you stop your cryin',
(In God we trust) I still hear it to this very day,
In God we trust
In God we trust
Verse 1: Back when I was little,
And I tried to warn you,
You said no nun or priest,
Would do the things you say,
But those that you trusted,
They all betrayed you,
And now that they're busted,
Tell me, what do you have to say?
(Chorus)
Verse 2: Little boys imprisoned,
Behind their shame and fear,
And sins so well hidden,
By those in whom we trust
So now there are legions,
All with the same story,
Lucky ones got pounded,
Some got that very special touch
(Chorus)
Bridge: Trust me little boy - no one can hear you cry,
They can all sleep tighter as the years go by,
Swept under the rug - no need for alibis,
While I'm wakin' up with the sheets soakin' wet,
There's a million like me - we won't let you forget
Verse 3: I forgive your blind faith,
And their abuse of power,
But there's one you all must face,
At the final hour
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
