Altered Boy Lyrics


Unholy pedophile

Preying on the innocent

Protected by the papacy

So called men of enlightenment

Children fingered by the hand of God

Raped in the name of Christ

They took a vow of chastity

Yet have torn asunder so many a life

[Chorus]:

Chickenhawks of the Catholic Church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy

Men so benevolent

In a position of trust

Molesting children by the score

Rendering young life straight into the dust

Their church is their Golgotha

They're crucified by the priest

Child becomes the victim

Holy Father becomes the beast

[Chorus]

Chickenhawks of the Catholic Church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy

Multi-million dollar payouts

Restitution for their crimes

This vile sickness

Cut so many down in their prime

All the bishops and the cardinals

Tried to hide it away

In the parish and cathedrals

The predators come to prey

[Chorus] 2x
