Sometimes I feel so sorry for you God

When I see the fools that you’ve got on your side

If I were you I’d strike them down

Yeah that’s what I would do  If I were God?

They blame you for everything that goes wrong

Even when it’s nothing to do with you

Does it make you sad or angry

I’d get mad if they did it to me If I were God?

If I were God I’d pull down the walls

Of racism hatred lust and greed

If I were God I’d find the lost

Even when they tried to hide from me

Don’t you think I’d do a better job

If I were God?

I can’t see why the world is like it is God

I’m sure I wouldn’t make it quite like this

I think I’d be tempted to start again

Maybe I wouldn’t make men  If I were God?

Would I have the patience to watch mankind

Destroy my creation while hardly trying

Could I just forget all the things they’d done

Would I let them kill my son If I were God?

If I were God you’d be so happy

As you all bowed down to worship me

If I were God I’d be a dictator

Like Hitler or Caligula

Don’t you think I’d do a better job

If I were God?
