XTC LYRICS - Dear God

"Dear God"



, hope you got the letter, and...

I pray you can make it better down here.

I don't 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 don't get

enough to eat from God, I can't 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 can't make opinions meet about God,

I can't believe in you



Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make

mankind after we made you? And the devil too!



, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on

a lot of quotes in this book, and 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 ain't, and

so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in



I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no

devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always

letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you

drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the

whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that

Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,

and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon

my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in



it's you....
