Daniel “Dan” Bull
[Dan Bull - Dear Benny lyrics]
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
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
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 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
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
