"Forgive me father for I have sinned" "Will you take my confession?" "I'll listen to it, yes, my son" "But, remember with who you're messing" "Sorry father, I am confused" "I do not get your meaning" "Don't worry child, it's ok" "It's not your soul needs gleaning" "Tell me son, what did you do?" "That you need to lose your burden" "It can't be nearly half as bad" "As all the folks we're hurtin" "Again dear father, I'm confused" "You speak in muddled rhymes" "I'm sorry child, it's just that" "We're in tough, embattled times" "No matter what the sin you have" "We've done much worse things than you" "And I as Holy Father" "I hide all the things they do" "I say, my son...if there is one" "Who needs to be absolved" "You're sitting in this box with him" "It's me who should be solved" "I was the Pope, just days ago" "I led the Holy Roman Church" "No one was more powerful" "And I left them in the lurch" "I was the one who spoke to God" "I was the Holy See" "If God had wanted something done" "He spoke to you through me" "But, I chose my own path" "Hiding sins of Catholic Priests" "I turned away from all their wrongs" "I let the bad ones feast" "Pedophiles, I hid them all" "I turned a blind eye to their sin" "Then, I hid the papers showing proof" "I would not let God come in" "Now, I am protected" "I can not be touched, you see" "The Vatican is still my home" "I'm not the Pope, but still am free" "So, child, tell me what it is" "You think may curse your soul" "I'll give you three hail mary's" "And then I'll send you for a stroll" "I was the Pope, the voice of God" "Now, I'm just a normal man" "I'm as guilty as the rest of them" "Catch Me If You Can!!!"

Catch Me If You Can - confession with the Pope
"Forgive me father for I have sinned" "Will you take my confession?" "I'll listen to it, yes, my son" "But, remember with who you're messing" "Sorry father, I am confused" "I do not get your meaning" "Don't worry child, it's ok" "It's not your soul needs gleaning" "Tell me son, what did you do?" "That you need to lose your burden" "It can't be nearly half as bad" "As all the folks we're hurtin" "Again dear father, I'm confused" "You speak in muddled rhymes" "I'm sorry child, it's just that" "We're in tough, embattled times" "No matter what the sin you have" "We've done much worse things than you" "And I as Holy Father" "I hide all the things they do" "I say, my son...if there is one" "Who needs to be absolved" "You're sitting in this box with him" "It's me who should be solved" "I was the Pope, just days ago" "I led the Holy Roman Church" "No one was more powerful" "And I left them in the lurch" "I was the one who spoke to God" "I was the Holy See" "If God had wanted something done" "He spoke to you through me" "But, I chose my own path" "Hiding sins of Catholic Priests" "I turned away from all their wrongs" "I let the bad ones feast" "Pedophiles, I hid them all" "I turned a blind eye to their sin" "Then, I hid the papers showing proof" "I would not let God come in" "Now, I am protected" "I can not be touched, you see" "The Vatican is still my home" "I'm not the Pope, but still am free" "So, child, tell me what it is" "You think may curse your soul" "I'll give you three hail mary's" "And then I'll send you for a stroll" "I was the Pope, the voice of God" "Now, I'm just a normal man" "I'm as guilty as the rest of them" "Catch Me If You Can!!!"
