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!
Dear God
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 np 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... Dear God
(Andy Partridge)
