I am an Irish Catholic
Kilbride is my name and when I was a kid
I searched for four leaf clovers where the poison ivy hid
I was an Irish Catholic kid
My father and me mother believed in what they did
They blamed it on each other the way it was back then
There's a lot of bumps and bruises at the shiite end of the stick
I was an Irish Catholic Kid
Just like a dirty snowball rolling down a dirty hill
That toughness turns to madness until there's nothing left to feel
Learn about the rage that's all I ever really learnt from them
I was an Irish Catholic Kid
Once there was a time and a place I used to know
I searched for redemption on pleasant corners road
They blamed it on the times and the way it was back then
I was an Irish Catholic Kid
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger any way
That toughness turns to madness and the madness turns to hate
They're to afraid to call me now explaining what they did
When I was just an Irish Catholic Kid
Just like a dirty snowball rolling down a bloody hill
The toughness turns to madness and the madness learns to kill
There's a lot of bumps and bruises at the shiite end of the stick
When I was just an Irish Catholic Kid
I was just an Irish Catholic Kid
