Lyrics of Dear Benny by Dan Bull
Dear Joseph Alois Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI,
Bishop of Rome, Sovreign of the State of the Vatican City
and formerly Archbishop of Munich and Freising,
Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
and Dean of the College of Cardinals
I′m not a Catholic
But I'm a chap that thinks some of your actions stink
and want to ask some things.
Will Mr Ratzinger listen to a rap singer?
Maybe - in the past he listened to that chap Hitler.
Sorry, I couldn′t resist, back to business
back in the habit like Lauryn Hill in Sister Act is.
Did you ever see that flick? It's fantastic!
I can lend you the VHS if you fancy it.
Damn I'm rambling
Damn I didn′t mean to say "damn"
Damn I just said "damn" again.
I′m a bit anxious I'll be tagged as discriminatory
similarly to your religion′s history.
I know what it's like to have a stigma stick to you
you were in the Hitler youth, I was in the local scout troop
′til the parents found out that Baloo liked bare Cubs
a little bit more than he should do.
And that's what I′d like to discuss with you
the sick stuff some kiddy fiddlers are into.
It's like sometimes you're less inclined to find the truth than to hide the abuse
under your roof.
You′re quick to stick it in when other people sin
so why are you so unwilling to take this one on the chin?
You might think that it isn′t my business
but you're into forgiveness, so forgive this:
Your hollow apology bothered me horribly
it′d probably be better if you'd not said a fucking thing.
My God, I just swore at the Pope
I′m so sorry, honestly.
Now that's an apology.
Not just promising to modify your policy moderately
to smother the controvacy you′ve often seen.
It's sick depraved system failure
it isn't just as if it′s misbehaviour.
You find out you′re hiring a kiddie rapist
and you don't even make a criminal complaint
It′s insane!
If this was any other organization
you'd be taken straight down the station
to make a statement.
Now not all papists are rapists
and the clergy isn′t permanently pervy but face it:
There's a disproportionate amount of cases
it′s almost as if they happen on a daily basis.
You're the Holy See's head of state
and loads of people want to see your head on a plate.
Now I won′t go that far, but it′s fair to say
that from this day
things better change
Jesus preached: love one another
but it seems some priests
just wanna bugger
Jesus preached: love one another
but it seems some priests
just wanna bugger
Some priests just wanna bugger
