DEAR GOD
 by Andy Partridge

Dear God,
hope you got 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...
us crazy humans wrote it -
you should take it a look.
And all the people that you made in your image
still believin' 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 in...

I WON'T believe in heaven-and-hell
no saints!
no sins!
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
that Father, Son and Holy Ghost
it's just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
that my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
It's you
Dear God
