[Verse 1]
    D                          A               G
The best years of his life, is what he gave to you.

  D                         A            G
Never late a day, he's been faithful and true.

D                              A                G
Putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves.

    D                           A                 G                 Em
For over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to say

            G                     Em
that you're gonna have to cut his pay.

                   G                         D
'Cause one of your priests did such an awful thing.
[Chorus]
D                                       A                    G
Lightning bolt, oh lightning bolt, why don't you strike them down?

    D                                  A                 G
For what they did they deserve to be a black spot in the ground.

    D                  A               G
And if there is a god, up there in the clouds,

  D                              A        G          Em
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now.

               G                                 Em
Somehow, these monsters all seem higher than the law.

                   G             D
They won't see any punishment at all.
[Verse 2]
   D                             A           G
He didn't give a damn about your god or your church.

   D                              A               G
He was just an honest man looking for some honest work.

    D                        A            G
And in his little finger, he has more purity,

       D                         A          G         Em
Than a whole church-load full of your child-molesting priests,

                G                             Em
It seems you're making him pay for the guilty sins.

                             G         D
Thirty years, and that's the thanks he gets.
[Verse 3]
     D                           A            G
It's hard to imagine there could be a greater sin,

     D                     A        G
Than using your trust for abusing a kid.

   D                           A                G
As hard as it may seem, well I think that there is

    D                        A                G        Em
And you're committing it, by protecting these old evil men.

             G                     Em
And if there really is a judgement day,

              G            D
You'll have a whole lot to explain.
[Chorus]
D                                       A                    G
Lightning bolt, oh lightning bolt, why don't you strike them down?

    D                                  A                 G
For what they did they deserve to be a black spot in the ground.

    D                  A               G
And if there is a god, up there in the clouds,

  D                              A        G          Em
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now.

               G                                 Em
Somehow, these monsters all seem higher than the law.

                   G             D
They won't see any punishment at all.
