I was a victim when I was eight years old

Someone to teach me how to shave

Some sort of acknowledgement would be nice

Have you heard the news

I finally found Jesus
Dm C
He locked himself into the bathroom at the party
F G C/G
I had to talk him down, he was having a whitey and he said
Em Am Asus2 Am
Francis I don't need this
Dm C
The epectations and relentless pressure
F G C/G
Of a distant and judgemental father and I said
Em Am Asus2 Am
I can see what mean, JC
Dm C
But at least he's paying some kind of attention
F G C/G
To his miraculously spoilt conception but with some of us
Em Am Asus2 Am
We struggle to be seen

And I sold my soul to rock and roll
F G Am7
In a desperate throw to even be noticed at all
