God Only Knows — текст песни (james)

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed

He has a vague memory of before some fall

Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall

If God is in his image, the almighty must be small





God only knows



Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees

After damning me and you to hell for eternity

Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests

They bribe their way past heavens gates and steal a set of keys





God only knows my guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep

While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief

Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep

We fell upon each other starving for relief





God only knows



I damn you all to hell

I speak in the name of god

I know him intimately

I speak in the name of the white haired old man in the clouds

Always a man

Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips

As self-righteous and bigoted as those who created him

A cruel desert God with absolutely no sense of humor

How do you feel old man?

How do you feel?

Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanatics

Is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers and

God-fearing biggots

Well I know where Id rather be

Away from this cacophony

God only knows

God only knows

God only knows
