Alan G. - If Were Like TV To God lyrics

I think that God's sittin' On a big cloud in Heaven Wondrin' what's happ'ning below So He plugs in a big screen That's just like a TV And clicks on His heavenly remote He sees all the people In crystal-clear detail All of them crazy or odd Do you think He would laugh Would He cry or get mad If we were like TV to God What if we all are Just like big TV stars On a fancy reality show Would God have the stomach To look and not get sick Oh the scandals He'd know For some He would gotta Shield His eyes to watch 'em And some He could not watch at all And He'd Tivo some guys To fast-forward their lives When the dull boring parts would come on How would you act if someone were watching? Would you be bad more than not Would you live the same Be all shameless or lame If we were like TV to God? Some people are sitcoms That He likes to turn on When He is in need of a smile And some people's mommas Are just like the dramas Emotions all crazy and wild And some are like cop shows All action and gusto Others are news shows - so grim And some are like reruns In a rut since they were young If we were like TV to Him How would you act if someone were watching? If everyone knew what you got Would you still be bad Do the things that you had If we were like TV to God Sometimes I believe I have grown up to be The kind of show God finds too weird Does He understand I just like to be bad My picture ain't always too clear And I don't have those special effects Or big guest stars My ratings aren't all number one But it's early, you know Still can make a good show Soon as the commercials are done How would I act if someone were watching? Would I still be crazy a lot But I hope I could handle If He changed the channel If I were like TV to God So live like you dare Someone's watchin' upstairs We are like TV to God
