Xtc – Dear God Lyrics

Dear God, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the Devil too!

Dear God don't know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you
Dear God

"Hurricane"

Pistols shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out "My God they killed them all"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane...

...That's the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done
Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Friday night and my work's all done

I get my baby go and have some fun

We're gonna see a double feature tonight

That gives us lots of time to do it up right


She's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one


Well, I picked my baby up she slid right in

I revved my Chevy up and revved it again

Her daddy's standing out beside the street

I laid some rubber there for him to eat


She's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one


And the show now...

She reached over and she squeezed on my rocks

I lost it all in the popcorn box

I hollered louder than an Indian scout

And that's when the usher started prowlin' about


Oh oh oh

He started flipping and a-flashin' his light

Right in the middle of the Indian fight

The Redskins were shootin' at the wagon train

That's when me and the Cavalry came


She's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one


Oh you know now...

She reached over and she squeezed on my rocks

I lost it all in the popcorn box

I hollered louder than an Indian scout

That's when the usher had to throw us out

He threw us


We left the movie and we ran to the car

Lucky for me we didn't have to go far

My baby started movin' sweet and low

She picked it up again right where she let go


She's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one


Oh oh, she reached over and she squeezed on my rocks

I lost it all too soon man

I hollered louder boy it's hard to see

My seat's gettin' sticky but that's alright by me, yeah


I like the way she likes to rattle my bone

I like the way she takes me all the way home

I like the way she likes to shake it around

She's got the saltiest shaker in town


She's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one

Well you she's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one

Oh yeah, she's a co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co

Cool one


My baby she's a cool one

"I'm The Slime" - Zappa


I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime people look at me go
