The Religion of Love
By colleen
Pretty little Catholic girlTaught the difference between right and wrongFrom the very beginningGo to church once a week,Confess when you've sinned And you will be saved.Listen to your mommy and daddy,They know what is right.Trust your mommy and daddy,They'll never lead you wrong.Come home when they say,No late night partying in that boy's backseat.Little Catholic darling,I don't ever want to see you in his arms again,He doesn't worship the same GodHe won't be saved.Do as your told and everything will be alright.Innocent little Catholic girl,Wash those impure thoughts out of your head;So you think you're in love with that Jewish boy?Let him touch you and he'll only take advantage Of you, naive little girl.Catholics can't marry Jews,That's not right;Haven't you been listening to anythingThese past 18 years?You can have your romantic fantasyBut it will never come trueYour parents will disapprove,They'll disown you.They've kicked you out once before,Is it really worth it?You claim it's true loveBut your parents just don't understand,'Why can't you just be withThat nice little Catholic boy from down the street?'Oh poor JulietWhen can you and Romeo be happy together?So instead you run away together,You and your little Jewish boy.You'll find a place far away from your parents,The priests, all those strict Catholic rules.Together you're love will keep you alive,You're an adult now, you don't need them.
