Hey reverend larebil
I think you've got it backwards,
You philosophize, theologize, think you’re wise.
You claim Jesus christ didn’t rise.
You have your jesusless seminar,
How did you drift so far?
Intellectualize, hypothesize, lobotomize.
Your rhetoric makes me sick!
You may not like the message we teach
Or the words we speak,
The way we live our lives and the way we preach,
But after decades of your watered down voice,
It's time the listeners had another choice!
It's time the listeners had another choice…
Dr. Hypocritic oath,
You swore you'd do no harm.
You sterilize, euthanize, infanticide.
Your medicine tastes like poison.
You keep promoting your safe sex,
You just fuel the epidemics,
There's our std's like hpv and hiv.
The only cure is to be pure.
You may not like the message we teach
Or the words we speak,
The way we live our lives and the way we preach,
But after decades of your watered down voice,
It's time the listeners had another choice
Reverend larebil!
It's time to take a stand,
To take a total stand now
To critically catechize in
The catholic know-how,
The people have to fight
Through the demons inside,
It's such a slippery slope satan's suicide slide!
Break beelzebub’s bonds
Believe and be reborn,
Grasp god's grace gratefully,
The great gratuitous gift.
We're the lord's loyal laity,
Layin' the law down
Let's radically rock the roots,
Replace the rot with solid ground!
The media grab hold of your insanity,
Headlines rage "misguided piety".
Even thomas believed when he saw the hands,
Jesus doesn’t measure up to your demands.
You use the abusive pseudo-clergy
To bash the entire male hierarchy.
You say our sexual stand is out of fashion,
So you can give in to your depraved passion!
I'm so angry at it all!
When was it that you lost your call?
If you deny tradition and the church,
Where is the foundation for your search?
You dis' confession and the eucharist
But it's the altar of yourself that you've kissed!
It's time for us to make our final stand,
And crush all your false idols back to sand!
“Do not be afraid to follow christ!”
“Only Jesus is the true master.”
"Today he calls you o be the salt and light of the world!”
Hey mr. Chameleon
You want to lead our land
Your empty lies, compromise, virtue dies.
You roll to the nearest poll.
It's nothin' but a game,
You're really all the same.
We sit there dumb, feel so numb, vote for scum!
We feed the greed that you need!
You may not like the message we teach
Or the words we speak,
The way we live our lives and the way we preach,
But after decades of your watered down voice,
It's time the listeners had another choice
It's time the listeners had another choice
Reverend larebil!
[Rap chorus]
It's time to take a stand,
To take a total stand now
To critically catechize in
The catholic know-how,
The people have to fight
Through the demons inside,
It's such a slippery slope satan's suicide slide!
Break beelzebub’s bonds
Believe and be reborn,
Grasp god's grace gratefully,
The great gratuitous gift.
We're the lord's loyal laity,
Layin' the law down
Let's radically rock the roots,
Replace the rot with solid ground!
Reverend larebil!
Reverend larebil!
Reverend larebil!
