Lyrics for Forgiven

You know how us Catholic girls can be Hey, yeah, hey yeah, yeah We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did I sang Alleluia in the choir Oh, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brothers they never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequences of this inquisition If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven? We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did We all had delusions in our heads We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did So we did, ooh So we did
