You may say I am cynical, 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
|
|

God Only Knows
