oh blessed Mary
you've got a heart
you've got it bleeding from your chest

dug his grave with your bare hands
turned to religion to make some peace

your two little girls
oh he took everything you had
yeah you try and wash the dirt from your hands
you wanna be saved

just trying to wash it all away
