But it was leaving that saved me
We can't do it on our own
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
So just break with your past, feed your own mind
That's my debt paid to the church
In the cell blocks at our schools
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
Bowed before your lies
Our Father who art in Heaven
This is the city that raised me
Come down here and make your presence known
I don't need that kind of salvation
With the religion they gave me
That I'm twice your size
Go hit me now
From a glove of jewels
So just break with your past, feed your own mind
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past, feed your own mind
And force me to believe
When I get hurt
Don't fill my head with sermons
This is the city that raised me
The lunatics let run the asylum
With the other fools
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
But it was leaving that saved me
We brushed off the accusations
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
I've seen so much that has changed me
This is the city that raised me
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
Made get on our knees every Sunday
When you can't trust your own
Wedding's deaths and baptizing children
How can we find peace inside your home
We were warped by the Christian Brothers
Get a hand print on your skin
