God only knows lyrics

Artist  : James 
Song : God only knows
 

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of before some fall
Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking
tall
If god is in his image, the almighty must be
small
God only knows 

Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round
his knees
After damning me and you to hell for eternity
Sex and power and money is the prayer of these
priests
They bribe their way past heaven`s gates and
steal a set of keys
God only knows My guru has been sleeping with
adepts and with sheep
While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in
belief
Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for relief
God only knows 

I damn you all to hell
I speak in the name of god
I know him intimately
I speak in the name of the white haired old man
in the clouds
Always a man
Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips
As self-righteous and bigoted as those who
created him
A cruel desert god with absolutely no sense of
humor
How do you feel old man?
How do you feel?
Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanatics
Is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling
preachers and
God-fearing biggots
Well I know where I`d rather be
Away from this cacophony
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
