lyrics

rosary callous mouthed
between the lips
faith breaks a tacit armistice
grain filter
pedals with a right drift
when everything but
due diligence
touches the fucking kids
(x2)

the pope is an unrepentant rapist
(or least apologist, you know what I mean?)
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
Holy See in the hands of a fatalist

the pope is an unrepentant rapist
the president is a rapist
the pope is a fucking rapist
every president is a rapist
every billionaire is a rapist
your landlord is a rapist

from the teleprompter
direct ex cathedra
global south minerals
on forehead double feature
marquee dead language
gendarme cartesian
halberd usher
crooning in a malfeasance

the hair of dog with alopecia
and jaundice
excommunicating over cocktails
wringing a business
relationship down to the
T’s on a fundamentalist script

says the deacon of foley
clanging the pews for research
Antonio Mcdyess book of prayers for
draft of knee hurt
12th pick first round
and the progress start to revert
12th pick first round
and the progress start to revert

opiate of the masses
in a jigger go figure
certainly drawn from well
hock-spit reconfigured
(x2)

the pope is an unrepentant rapist
(or least apologist, you know what I’m saying?)
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
Holy See in the hands of a fatalist

the pope is an unrepentant rapist
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
the pope is a fucking rapist
every president is a rapist
every billionaire is a rapist
your landlord is a rapist
your boss is a fucking rapist
your insurance is a rapist
your gym teacher is a rapist
your therapist is a rapist
your CPA is a rapist
your ISP is a rapist
your favorite artist is a fucking rapist
and you?
