Lyrics

Dearly Beloved

Bad Religion cover. Written by a bunch of certifiably wicked smart dudes who have dominated for decades and are still far more insightful and relevant than 99% of the garbage that has followed them. Diatribe over - on to the fun facts about this tune!

Here is the story of an honest man losing religion, climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation. Then while praying came a wicked inspiration. Brothers, sisters, this is what he said -

"Dearly beloved, 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 got right into his head and secretly crept into every mad perception. I can't deny a funny feeling when he said -

"Dearly beloved, I can't relate to you."

Dearest in memorium, set phasers to stun and grab yourselves a neighbor's 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, I can't relate to you."
