about

Old Boy's new perspective and drug lifestyle clashes with his parents young-earth creationist views and a fight ensues.

lyrics

Tainted soul
Empty bowl
He’s so young
No control
He will fight
Yeah, he’ll fight all night
To get what he
Thinks he needs

There’s a gaping black hole
Where his faith used to be
There’s no escaping at all
Nothing to see
Suddenly hurled
Into a whole new world
No more abuse
The beast has been cut loose

But he was too loud
‘Cause the old man found out
And the old lady too
Said, “God is watching you,
God is watching you,
And everything you do
Always an eye on you
And everything you do.”

The old man said,
“You will burn in hell for what you’ve done,
What have you become?
What have you become?”
He said, “Free of all your lies
And evermore the wise
And its only just begun, 
Its time to have some fun
I wish somehow I could make you see
We’re all just birds on a branch 
On a man-made tree.”

He went straight for the door
And said nothing more
With a smile on his face
He put the pedal to the floor
He will drive
Into the city life
No cash or clue
And nothing to do
