Dearly Beloved

Dearly Beloved

Bad Religion
(album: New Maps Of Hell)

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 genres})
I can´t relate to you (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,
(Make no mistake despite our traits I´ve seldom seen... {evidence of genres})
I can´t relate to you (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 believe...)
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 (I can´t relate to you)
I can´t relate to you
