God is a mixed metaphor
Do you know what He is for?
Religion is a form of art
Totality made up from parts of
Goodness, wisdom, power, love
Authority from up above
He’s been dead two hundred years
Poisoned by our hopes and fears
Life is a revolving door
Do you know what it is for?
Philosophy? Ah nah nah nah
Just put you hand upon your car
And swear you will be true to those
Who lie in wait, half comatose
We’ve been stoned two hundred years
We know all your hopes and fears
I bring the wisdom of the seer
I know the truth is scary
I keep the faith, I tell no lie
I am the soothfairy
I stand here on the corner
I stand here on my box
Let me tell you what the time is
Tick tick tick tick tox
Love’s a theatre of war
Do you know what it is for?
DNA is cupid’s bow
Romeo was stupid so
It’s all a game of love and hate
The heart wants what it wants but wait
For love you cry a lake of tears
Full of all your hopes and fears
Death is there upon the shore
Do you know what it is for?
Survival, that’s what you desire
Can you hear the angel’s choir
Singing you to kingdom come
Say your prayers, call your mum
St Peter sees your great ideas
He knows all your hopes and fears
