"this one's for anyone who grew up in years of Catholic school like me! <3"

lyrics

"so what'd you learn in school today son?" - "ha, well i'll tell ya…"

I learned you can be the worst person in the world
but still go to heaven if you go to a building
and pretend you're listening to some old guy
who talks in monotone and serves you alcohol

And apparently all religions have a similar basis
but no one notices the relation
and apparently God made other people suffer
just to prove a point to some rich snobby fucks

And i learned we're all made in God's equal image
and all men are created equal
except of course for the jews and the gays and women
and the muslims and middle easterners and anyone who doesn't believe in God or
doesn't have white skin or anyone with uncontrollable brain chemical imbalances or….hm.

well its hard to find God when your head's in a toilet
and its hard to go donate when thieves take your money
and the food really sucked so my shits weren't holy
i guess thats what i learned in school today, ya thats what i learned in school

Well i don't regret those 12 long years
they kinda taught me how i don't wanna be
i grew up and learned to think for myself
and how i don't have to listen to the bullshit you feed me
I still met some nice kids in those catholic schools
i mean except for the ghetto kids and dealers
and anyone who just went there cause they were forced to cause they're public school closed…

cause its hard to find jesus when you're passed out in dodgeball
and its hard to raise your hand when it's bruised by a ruler
and the nuns and priests can yell at you as long they're preaching
so thats what i learned in school today, ya thats what i learned in school
