Welcome to my prison cell, have you come to feed the animal
With words of comfort and forgiveness
If I confess to you, tell me what good would it do
To ease my guilty conscience
Hey Father, I’ve been trying to pray
But I got a feeling that nothing’s gonna wash my sins away
They say I won’t feel a thing when they put the needle in
That soon it will all be over
But my family went to church, I believe there’s something worse
Waiting for me
Hey Father, I’d ask you to stay
But I got a feeling that where I’m going there’ll be hell to pay
Hey Father, I’ve been trying to pray
