Living in the past


PeasantSt.
Brigette's Catholic School, 1970
Mother Scholastica preaching the hard-line according to RomeWe wanted love and they gave us fear
We wanted Pink Floyd and they gave us hymns
Incense with a load of nonsense
It was absolutely obvious they were all living in the past
Juvenile Crown Court, 1979
I sat thinking how I ended up here
Until they asked me to swear on the BibleAnd it all came clear
Brainwashed by ritual and whitewashed by lies
I was an adolescent alcoholic with the Bible on my side
Incense with a guilty conscience
Incense from the past tenseWe're all living in the past
Malibu Beach, California, 1990
Lesson 1: never give a Catholic 350 grand and put him in the sun
They didn't teach us about money at our school, they taught us hymns
And I can tell you the words but you wouldn't know what to sing
Guess it's a Catholic thing
Happy and I'm smiling
Walking miles to walk on water

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
