lyrics

I guess that politicians and priests
Are immune to the laws of the street
Theyre not like you and me
We pay the price when we cause misery

Chorus
But as sure as the sun does shine
This is not a sin This is a crime
And these criminals have got to do their time
So let the trials begin

They say Be like Jesus and forgive\
Well that’s fine if youre talking about sin
But there is a law for what those priests
And the politicians did to those kids

Repeat chorus the Pope was as radical as he seems
He would reverse the laws on celibacy
Take it from Jesus and you will learm
Its better to marry than to burn
Repeat chorus
