What goes on outside if church
The priest, he doesn't know
With hands over ears
And eyes squeezed shut
His mind stays close to home
His daughter stays out late at night
With smokers, thugs, and thieves
She breathes real air
And thinks real thoughts
And runs from the police
"Oh, father, dear!" She cries at night
"I've just been out to church!
The service ends
At three A.M.
'Til then, I'm hard at work!"
He smiles at daughter, pats her head,
And says that he is proud
Then daughter leaves
To roam the streets
Where everything's allowed
