Residents - Godsong lyrics

God never really did like man anyway At least not after they started walking around On their hind leg(s) And talking on the telephone Of course poor God's point of view wasn't easy now (to) understand He had invented man from dead things At that time there were no grave yards to rob So He had been forced to use dead worms, some sea weed That had laid out on the beach for quite a while For quite a while. At that time man had four legs and no telephone A major mistake came when God decided that man should think (A trait that He'd long desired for Himself) What God no doubt intended was For man to think about Him And that was important because God just wanted to be Just another normal deity Deity Deity Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty All that God wanted to be Was just a normal deity All that God wanted to be Was just another normal deity All that God wanted to be Was just a deity Just a normal deity All that God wanted to be Just a normal deity All that God wanted to be Just a normal deity All went well for quite a while Man was a wonderful creature With long rich engraved face Four fine legs ending in five mini-legs And a coat of satiney hair And large genitals His thoughts were pure and Full of wonder The wonder part was God's favorite, (at least at first) Because that's the part that gave Him His Identity Identity Identity Identity Oh, it was so wonderful for God Man's... Man's questions turned to visions And visions gave God All kinds of exciting things to do Someday He would be a God of wrath Reeking havoc upon undiscipline mankind And at other times He'd be a God of love and compa**ion Of course these were all things that man had invented So God had a hard time getting the full grasp But... One of His favorite things Was man's believing in Him, and then not believing in Him One of His favorite things Was man's believing in Him, and then not believing in Him Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...Believing in Him, Not believing in Him .......Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...........Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...............Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him .......................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...........................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...............................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him ...................................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him .......................................Like some hide and seek game ...................................Over ...............................And ...........................Over .......................And ...................Over and Over ...............Believing in Him ...........Believing in Him .......Believing in Him ...Not believing in Him... Not believing in Him? I think He liked believing in Him much better... But I'm not sure... sallysally@usa.net
