God

Lyrics

When I get to heaven, is God gonna cry? Or will he smile and nod while watching the time? Yeah, when I get inducted will my welcome note say "You had a good run, son, I liked that one song, hey" Did he sit up all night wondering how to say That he's kind of a big fan from the Chamomile days? "My favourite part was when you wished you would die And up here man, oh, there wasn't a dry eye" Silly old thing, that green and blue marble Floating in darkness, how cool are the stars though? Didn't give it much thought, but maybe it's unfair That there's heaps of cancer, death, and despair I ask politely, "But wasn't that the devil?" He pauses for a second and says he's gonna level "It was all middle management, pressure from above Some universal interests about some real estate stuff It's over my head, don't take it to heart Just view this as kind of like a nice, fresh start Where you sit in eternity, with no good or evil In an endless cosmos in the eye of a needle" I said, "Hey, God," he said "Who, me? Oh, you must have me confused, I'm just a corporate slogan, see If you need a reason, good or bad, you can rely on me for your facts" I said, "So wait, then what's the point?" He said, "You're looking for God, I'm sorry, but this ain't the joint You just came from Earth, you're telling me You didn't feel a thing? You had the holy keys Seriously now, you fell in love And that's God right there, what else could you want son?" You're telling me that I saw God? No heaven or hell, well that kinda sucks a lot Was kinda hoping for a trial by fire Or some beautiful paradise Styled inspired by everything I liked and things that felt right He said, "That's not quite how it works, you know the budgets are tight" So what now? He said, "Well I'll leave you to it You got some thinking and you got a lot of time to do it Bet you kinda wish now you know the drill You saw heaven every second that the world stood still" I said, "It would have been nice to know That that was all I had and there was nowhere to go I would have used all of my time To be a little more loving in my life I would have called my enemies up Said sorry that I messed up I would have held it all so tight I wouldn't have done things out of spite" Isn't it weird you believe or you don't? But either way you should probably make the most of it 'Cause the core of it is right here, right now And I hope you notice it I don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets Everybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak You're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions You're coming in waves of your own volition Look, I don't need God to make up the decision To be a little more loving in my life I don't have a prayer for you, I walk on two-way streets Everybody talks to you, but no one's heard you speak You're coming in dreams, you're coming in visions You're coming in waves of your own volition I don't need God to make up the decision To be a little more loving in my life
