Dan Bull - Dear Benny lyrics

[Intro: Dan Bull] Dear Joseph Alois Ratzinger, Pope Benedict the 16th, Bishop of Rome, Sovereign 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 [Verse 1 : Dan Bull] I'm not a Catholic But I'm a chap that thinks Some of your actions stink And want to ask some things Will mister Ratzinger listen to a rap singer? Maybe - in the past he listened to that chap Hitler Sorry, I couldn't resist, back to buisness; Back in te 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 meen to say "damn" Damn, I just said "damn" again I'm a bit anxious I'll be tagged as discriminatory Similarily 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 parent found out that Baloo Liked bare Cubs a little more than he should do [Verse 2 : Dan Bull] 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 f**ing 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 controversy 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 organisation 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 [Outro : Dan Bull] Jesus preached: love one another But it seems some priests just want to bugger Jesus preached: love one another But it seems some priests just want to bugger Some priests just want to bugger Some priests just want to bugger
