Time to Right the Wrong

you were never gonna be on the hockey team

you were already high on the dope

I can see you clear in your uniform

on Sundays oh how did you cope

it's gone on too long

it's time to right the wrong

and I can just imagine

how your life was unraveling

it's gone on too long

it's time to right the wrong

you were always calling home for mom's recipes

never got your father on the phone

he was just trying to get a little sleep

for his 4 to 12 shift in the morning

the priest would make sure there was gas in the car

he knew he'd have to run like the devil

he stole the mass offerings drank from the cup

he promised you a place up in heaven

it's gone on too long

it's time to right the wrong

and I can just imagine

how your life was unraveling

our religion was strong then

just trying to belong somewhere

it's gone on too long

it's time to right the wrong
