God lyrics

Artist  : Duran duran 
Song : God
 
God created the world,
Then created the devil to blame for his mistakes


I closed the door of my hotel room behind me,
It was like closing a chapter in the book of
life.
Outside thirty floors below I could hear the
police
Using their sirens like wolf whistles to pick up
young girls.


On tv oliver north (his fifteen minutes of fame
ticking steadily away)
Was being fuzzy about crucial events which had
happened a year earlier
What a flake...but then who isn’t? 
That was regan’s defence at least.


The worst thing is how politics begin to lead
into your life.
Back in our innocence we used to simply stick two
fingers up to
Politics,
Say "fuck the queen", that was about
all you had to say anyway,
And go back to the more important business of
making music.


So why was I sitting there feeling angry about -
Covert operations and illegal aid to the contras?

I mean I’m not even american (may be we all are a
little bit).
Then I realised it was just the idea that in this
particular democracy
And probably every other one in the world, there
is somebody in power
Who thinks he is more right than all the people
who put him there,
All the people who for once in their lives took
an interest.


Outside the wind was howling the "who
who’s" from sympathy for the devil
Round and round the concrete hotel walls and
corners.
That was then, this is...!
