(Intro) One two, one two One two, one two (Chorus) If God is real why do we hate each other If God is real why are you afraid to die If God is real why do people suffer If God is watching us why do we go to war and steal and lie Oh and it's a funny kind of thing to sing (Verse One) Well God let your daddy get cancer And God ain't doing nothing And God let my mama go crazy And all type of terrible things you face Down at the bottom of the barrel Oh you could hear the old timers sing How God got a eye on the sparrow Yet turn the other eye on the human race You and me got a lot of problems Sunday morning doing our thing But ain't nobody walking out of wheelchairs Make you wonder what we really doing here Nothing makes sense so simple Why are we placed in this confusing place Waking up slaves in the morning Go to bed slaves to work another day (Chorus) If God is real why do we hate each other If God is real why are you afraid to die If God is real why do people suffer If God is watching us why do we go to war and steal and lie Oh and it's a funny kind of thing to sing (Verse Two) Racism and religion keep us busy And they are only superficial things You rather take a drink from the bottle And be saved from all the joy it brings a man I wonder why we can't live forever I wonder why I never had love I wonder why we never hear a peep From the ones that's supposed to be flying in the sky above Some people smoke dope and get high Some people have a fling to get by Yet all it really proves is we need a little excitement Yes something just to bide the time God don't ever talk to lonely Walk but don't know where we going Up and down and around again Oh what am I really trying to say (Chorus) If God is real why do we hate each other If God is real why are you afraid to die If God is real why do people suffer If God is watching us why do we go to war and steal and lie Oh and it's a funny kind of thing to sing (Bridge 1) And this is how I feel (If God is) I can't explain Oh what am I really trying to say And this is how I feel (If God is) I can't explain What am I really trying to say And this is how I feel (If God is) I can't explain Oh what am I really trying to say And this is how I feel (If God is) I can't explain that thing Oh what am I really trying to say (Bridge 2) Real and hey hey hey Oh and it's a funny kind of thing to sing Come on Real and hey hey hey Oh and it's a funny kind of thing to sing Come on
