Dearly beloved
by Bad Religion

Here´s a story of an honest man losing religion,
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation,
The while praying came a wicked inspiration,
Brothers, sisters this is what he said:
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I´ve seldom seen evidence of genes)
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
He was the kind of guy who´d always go right out of his way,
But more before that crazy notion leapt right into his head,
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception,
I can´t deny a funny feeling when he said:
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
Dearest in memoriam - set phasers to stun
And grab yourself a neighbors´ skeleton to lean upon,
Did you know him in life - one filled with regret,
So soon we all forget - we ever met,
Do you know my name - sing a light refrain
For a man estranged - I won´t deny that I´m inclined to isolate
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation,
The while praying came a wicked inspiration,
Brothers, sisters this is what he said:
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I´ve seldom seen evidence of genes)
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
He was the kind of guy who´d always go right out of his way,
But more before that crazy notion leapt right into his head,
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception,
I can´t deny a funny feeling when he said:
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
Dearest in memoriam - set phasers to stun
And grab yourself a neighbors´ skeleton to lean upon,
Did you know him in life - one filled with regret,
So soon we all forget - we ever met,
Do you know my name - sing a light refrain
For a man estranged - I won´t deny that I´m inclined to isolate
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you, I can´t relate to you!
