3. Dear God by XTC
Yeah, but the reduction in the price of beer would be nice too! Hey, thats not a beer drinking country song!!!!!!!!!
Heehee BLight your right what was I thinking!!
Had me agreeing all the way to the last stansa .
Then it went the way of trash.
hey.........
thanks for posting,
I did not understand the last stanza......have to listen again
purps
Kerjy, can you post the lyrics for us?
Lyrics, care of google.
Thank you Jgnat, I guess I coulda done that. Since I'm making a post about it anyway, thought I'd just post the lyrics in here. It's quite the message. Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they dont get enough to eat
From god,
I cant believe in you.
Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they cant make opinions meet,
About god,
I cant believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear god,
Dont know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it aint and so do you,
Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,
I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in...
Its you,
Dear god.
Yep those are some powerful words!!
