I live in a neighborhood with lots of Catholic institutions (around Catholic University in Washington DC). Walking the dog I saw a sign offering drive-thru confession. Well. That had to be a song.
It's a song about oversharing, probably.
lyrics
You know I'll listen patiently C
you know I'll keep it judgment free F
I guess that's why Am
you always come back to me G
Listening to you C i
s the least I can do F
I can do the least at least Am
but I'll never be your priest G
CHORUS: It's another drive-by confession C G
I know you'll never make concessions C G
you can tell me all of your sins Am
you know I'll never turn you in D G
I'm not appointed C
I'm not anointed F
I can't reduce your sentence Am
could you offer penitence G
CHORUS
Bridge:
after we examine Em
all the ideas in you head F
we'll take a shot of whisky G
and bury all the dead G C
C G
OUT:
I have no solution C
I have no absolution G
