Paul Weller - God lyrics

And I looked up, and I spoke to God
And God said:

Look at YOU, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't you hardly
Think of me at all
I don't enter your head for weeks at a time
And at the times I do
They're in your despair
That you created and not I

And still
You look up at me in such pleading terms
That's how I can not deny you
Don't look at me look at you
DON'T look at me look at you
And every night I pray to God
Please save the lives of those I love
And take me instead
If you really need someone
To keep you company on a golden chair
In the glare

Bring your guns to the table
And recite your prayer
Loose all your hatred
If you are to pray in there

The temple you're seeking
Is in front of your nose
Because the message you're giving
Is doing nothing for those

Seek, and you shall find
Seek, and you shall find
The oldest is the young
The young is the oldest

The oldest is the young
The young is the oldest
