Lightning Bolt

(album: Andrew Jackson Jihad / Ghost Mice - 2007)

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
