And god said “let there be light but not bread"
And god said "I don’t need your shit today"
And god was sated by his own wrath
Yeah god said "I never meant to make that mistake"
Oh god said “you better not take my name in vein"
That god said "come children to the promised land," just so he could take it all away
Yeah god said, I don’t know why I did that, anyway
And that god he don’t know shit about me
Why call his name?
That’s what I says
Cause I’m not to blame-
But I’m the heretic, just a heretic… they say
And god said here’s a valley and the grain
And god said nothing more you’ll have from me
And god said I will impart my will, for it is my way
And god said damn that Mary’s looking fine these days
And god said be the man you want to be
And god said in my image, just like me
And god said by the castle with the beast
And god in all his fury, catastrophic to say the least
