I was born in a pool
They made my mother stand
I spat on that surgeon
And his trembling hand
When I felt the light
I was worse than bored
I stole a doctor's scalpel
And I slit the cord
I was a Catholic boy
I was redeemed through pain
Not through joy
I was two months early
They put me under glass
I screamed and cursed their children
When the nurse passed
I was convicted of theft
As I slid from the womb
They led me straight from my mother
To a cell in the tombs
I was a Catholic boy
Redeemed through pain
Not through joy
They starved me for weeks
They thought they'd teach me fear
I fed on cell-mates' dreams
It gave me fine ideas
When they cut me loose
The time had served me well
I'd made allies in heaven
Comrades in hell
I was a Catholic child
The blood ran red
The blood ran wild
