lyrics

you are a mistreated altar boy, darling bear your teeth
holy in the way you fight it
holy underneath
god and liberty and justice liberty for all
he hurts you and
you pray at night
you listen at the wall

god cant forsake you if you forsake him first
so pass around communion wine, darling do your worst
baptize yourself in your neighbors swimming pool
and keep in mind the mantra:
you are pure, you are pure, you are pure

blessed be the cross you wear
around your neck
the cross you bear
nailed to your hands and nailed to your feet
you are holy in the light of a city street!

jesus cant save you if you save yourself first
his hands upon your body while the choir boys rehearsed
this church bleeds from its aching heart so sweetheart
rest assured
nothing can change the fact that you are pure,
you are pure,
you are pure
