Lyrics

[00:39.89] You may say I am cynical but I say man is flawed
[00:43.50] He has a vague memory of before some fall
[00:47.04] Behaving like a reptile but talks of walking tall
[00:51.06] If God is in his image the almighty must be small
[00:53.66]
[01:01.48] Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees
[01:04.74] After damning me and you to hell for eternity
[01:07.90]
[01:08.51] Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests
[01:12.05] They bribe their way past heavens gates and steal a set of keys
[01:15.55]
[01:37.06] God only knows my guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep
[01:41.13] While I was f**king celibate self-righteous in belief
[01:43.43]
[01:44.14] Yesterday he was god now he is a creep
[01:47.50] We fell upon each other starving for relief
[01:50.60]
[01:51.51] God only knows
[01:52.36]
[02:26.61] I damn you all to hell
[02:28.84]
[02:30.06] I speak in the name of god
[02:32.65]
[02:33.49] I know him intimately
[02:35.16]
[02:36.83] I speak in the name of the white haired old man in the clouds
[02:41.58]
[02:42.84] Always a man
[02:44.22]
[02:44.98] Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips
[02:47.84]
[02:49.16] As self-righteous and bigoted as those who created him
[02:54.35]
[02:55.36] A cruel desert God with absolutely no sense of humor
[03:00.34]
[03:01.32] How do you feel old man
[03:03.31]
[03:04.57] How do you feel
[03:06.21]
[03:07.60] Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanatics
[03:09.92]
[03:11.83] Is heaven full oh lord of these babbling preachers and
[03:18.41] God-fearing biggots
[03:19.90]
[03:20.88] Well I know where Id rather be
[03:25.08]
[03:25.98] Away from this cacophony
[03:35.41]
[03:45.75] God only knows
[03:47.59]
[03:48.72] God only knows
[03:50.93]
[03:52.07] God only knows
