The Roots, Monsters of Folk - Dear God 2.0 lyrics
[The Roots, Monsters of Folk - Dear God 2.0 lyrics]
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe in
But God, I know you have your reasons
Uh, huh, they said he's busy
Hold the line please, call me crazy
I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead? Show
Me a sign please
If everything is made in China
Are we Chinese? And why do haters separate
Us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis
Terrorists, crime sprees
Assaults and robberies
Cops yelling "Stop freeze
" shoot him 'fore he try to leave
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breathe
Endangered species and we running
Out of trees if I could hold the world in
The palm of these hands
I would probably do away with these anomalies
Everybody checking for the new award nominees
Wars and atrocities, look at all the poverty
Ignoring the prophecies
More beef than broccoli
Corporate monopoly, weak world economy
Stock market toppling, mad marijuana
OxyContin and Klonopin, everybody out of it
Well I've been thinking about
And I've been breaking it down
Without an answer
I know I'm thinking out loud
But, if your love's still around
Why do we suffer? Why do we suffer?
Uh, huh, yeah, it's still me
One of your biggest fans
I get off work, right back to work again
I probably need to go ahead
And have my head exam
Look how they got me on
The Def Jam payment plan
Well, I'm in the world of entertainment and
Tryna keep a singing man sane
For the paying fans
If I don't make it through the night
Slight change of plans
Harp strings, angel wings and praying hands
Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
For going on tour and
Ignoring the court summons
All I'm tryna do is live life to the fullest
They sent my daddy to you
In a barrage of bullets
Why is the world ugly when you
Made it in your image?
And why is living life such
A fight to the finish?
For this high percentage
When the sky's the limit
A second is a minute, every hour's infinite
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe in
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe in
But God, I know you have your reasons
Uh, huh, they said he's busy
Hold the line please, call me crazy
I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead? Show
Me a sign please
If everything is made in China
Are we Chinese? And why do haters separate

Out of trees if I could hold the world in
