Oh God
Dear God up in heaven
I been working
So very hard
Now, now, now
If I worked in a hospital
I wanna be the doctor
If I was in the army whoa’
I’d wanna be the general
Because you had to be a big shot, didn’t you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn’t you
All your friends were so knocked out
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You’re never gonna get my love
I’ll be a big noise with all the big boys
So much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
Bow down in the platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague
Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen
Merciless judgment in the church of the machine
Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God’s gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God’s gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God’s gonna cut you down
If you want it God’s got it
He got everything you need
He got every everything
A poor man needs
Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused
Give the people what they want
Blow out your brains and do it right
Make sure it’s prime time and on a Saturday night
But just as all the neighbours–on the wall–
Are drawing a long breath to shout “Hurray!”
The strangest whim has seized me. . . . After all
I think I will not hang myself to-day.
Bayo, Bayo, see you hang him high
He shot my Billy dead and now he’s got to die.
This has become a full time career
To die young would take only 21 years
Gun down a school or blow up a car
The media circus will make you a star
Well, he’s just an excitable boy
I been told when a boy kiss a girl
Take a trip around the world
Take it hip to hip rocking through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Nothing or no one will ever
Make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he’s taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I kinda like the way she dips
Well she’s my best friend’s girl
She’s my best friend’s girl-irl
But she used to be mine
In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow
You with another so easily sleep
What’s real and what’s dreamt become close and entwine
When you were mine
