James - God Only Knows Lyrics
You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawedHe has a vague memory of before some fallBehaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tallIf God is in his image, the almighty must be smallGod only knowsSwaggart has been caught with his trousers round his kneesAfter damning me and you to hell for eternitySex and power and money is the prayer of these priestsThey bribe their way past heavens gates and steal a set of keysGod only knows my guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheepWhile I was *****ing celibate, self-righteous in beliefYesterday he was god, now he is a creepWe fell upon each other starving for reliefGod only knowsI damn you all to hellI speak in the name of godI know him intimatelyI speak in the name of the white haired old man in the cloudsAlways a manDispensing lightening justice from his fingertipsAs self-righteous and bigoted as those who created himA cruel desert God with absolutely no sense of humorHow do you feel old man?How do you feel?Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanaticsIs heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers andGod-fearing biggotsWell I know where Id rather beAway from this cacophonyGod only knowsGod only knowsGod only knows
