God Only Knows - Lyrics - James

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 *** 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 *** 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
