You can take me to the prom Promise not to tell your mom Mama never tells you why But she kicks you in the eye I don't think she understands I just wanna hold your hand I don't even own a car So we couldn't get that far Father Marcus said to me Just confess and you'll be free Sit you down upon my my lap Tell me your sins just like that He said "Babe, you know the rules You're livin' in a Catholic school" All the teachers say you're fine But they don't have dirty minds I am only in my teens I live only for my dreams I cannot be made to stay Life's a journey anyway Life's a journey anyway, hey Teacher, teacher please make me well I don't want to go to hell Teacher, teacher what can I do "I don't know boy, it's up to you" Its' time to free your mind It's time to cleanse your soul It's time to free your mind It's time to cleanse your soul Yo, Father, forgive me, for I have sinned I'd rather talk to God but He's out and you're in It's a little complicated, but Father Don't sweat it you can hear me out and You can just forget it Now, I haven't been to church In about ten years one time I had to pull my little sister's ear But I'm not really violent, and it shows I go for flower power as the stupid song goes Sometimes I tell a lie But only when it's true And I often say things like "shit" and "fuck you" I like to read a lot of dirty comic books And I give my dirty teachers A lot of dirty looks But this is the last thing That I'm ever gonna say It's embarrassing for me to talk To you this way But before I forget, before I carry on I stole a table napkin From a fancy restaurant Now, please, Father, tell me Tell me what I gotta do I am full of guilt, and now it's up to you Now, please, Father, tell me Tell me what I gotta do I am full of guilt, and now it's up to you Hey!
