James - God Only Knows lyrics
[James - God Only Knows lyrics]
But I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of before some fall
Behaving like a reptile
But talks of walking tall
If god is in his image
The almighty must be small
God only knows
Swaggart has been caught with his
Trousers round his knees
After damning me and you to hell for eternity
Sex and power and money is
The prayer of these priests
They bribe their way past heaven's gates
And steal a set of keys god only knows
My guru has been sleeping with
Adepts and with sheep
While I was fucking celibate
Self-righteous in belief
Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for belief
God only knows
I speak in the name of god
I speak in the name of that
White haired old man in the clouds
Always a man
Dispensing lightening justice from
His fingertips
Watching you every second of the day
Just waiting for you to fuck up
I speak in the name of God
I'm his intermediary
I'm a Mollah, I'm a Priest, I'm a Vicar
If you want to go to God
You have to come through me
Is heaven full, oh lord
Of these babbling preachers and
God-fearing biggots all these sef-rightious
Self-appointed prophets because if so: -
I know where I'd rather be
Away from this cacophony
Away from this cacophony god only knows
God only knows god only knows
