Tim Minchin - Pope Song

Probably the most profane song I’ve ever posted or ever will post… But right within the lyrics of this song the artist/comedian makes a compelling point about being offended at the profanity. I don’t want to give too much away, as part of the song’s impact comes from not knowing ahead of time what he's going to say, but it in a nutshell calls out the Pope for his role in some of the Catholic Church’s most publicized scandals, and is therefore probably offensive to you if you don't want to hear about those scandals or are a fan of the Pope he's referring to. This song was written during the reign of the previous Pope, BTW, not the current, popular one.
