Pope Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker he's a fucking motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the fucking fucker
Fuck the motherfucker he's a total fucking fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the mother fucker, fuck him, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking pope
Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you think that motherfucker is sacred
If you cover for another motherfucker who's a kiddy-fucker
Fuck you, you're no better than the motherfucking rapist
And if you don't like the swearing that this motherfucker forced from me
And reckon it shows moral or intellectual paucity
Then fuck you motherfucker, this is language one employs
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys
I don't give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker
Means you unthinkingly brand me an unthinking apostate
This has now to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers
I'm not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate
There are other fucking songs and there are other fucking ways
I'll be a religious apologist on other fucking days
But the fact remains if you protect a single kiddy fucker
Then pope or prince or plumber, you're a fucking mother fucker
See I don't give a fuck what any other motherfucker
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother
I've no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers
While those beliefs don't impact on the happiness of others
But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority
And with threats of hell impose it on others in society
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath
When it turns out you've been fucking us in our motherfucking asses
So fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you're still a motherfucking papist
If he covered for a single motherfucker who's a kiddy-fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's as evil as the rapist
And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you
With its filthy fucking language and its fucking direspect
If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter
But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility
The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly
Then listen to me motherfucker - this here is a fact
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking
Power-hungry, self-aggrandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat
