What God Wants Part 1

NMyTree

What God wants God gets God help us all
What God wants God gets

The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar
The priest said

God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight

What God wants God gets

Don't look so surprised
It's only dogma
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book

What God wants God gets God help us all

God wants peace
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stories

What God wants God gets

God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants semtex

What God wants God gets

Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its book
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down his book

What God wants God gets

God wants boarders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks

What God wants God gets

God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad

What God wants God gets........

Lyrics: Roger Waters

Do you believe in a better day?
Do you have a faith in a golden way?

If you do then we must come together this day
Come together as one united!!!!


Brought together the sound of my voice
United united financially united socially
United spiritually and all possible ways
Through the power of money
And the power of your prayers



What God wants God gets
God help us all

God wants dollars
God wants cents
God wants pounds shillings and pence
God wants guilders
God wants kroner
God wants Swiss francs
God wants French francs
Oui il veut des francs francais
God wants escudos
God wants pesetas
Don't send lira
God don't want small potatoes

God wants small towns
God wants pain
God wants clean up rock campaigns
God wants widows
God wants solution
God wants TV
God wants contributions

What God wants God gets God help us all

God wants silver
God wants gold
God wants his secret
Never to be told

God wants gigolos
God wants giraffes
God wants politics
God wants a good laugh

What God wants God gets
God help us all

God wants friendship
God wants fame
God wants credit
God wants blame
God wants poverty
God wants wealth
God wants insurance
God wants to cover himself

What God wants God gets
God help us all

Don't be afraid, it's only business
The alien prophet sighed
The vulture and the magpie took
The cash box from its hook
The monkey in the corner wrote
The figures in his book

Crazed the checkout lady's fingers
Flash across the till
And the captain posts
The menu of the day

And in banks across the world
Christians Moslems Hindus Jews
And people of every
Race creed colour tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray

The racoon and the groundhog
Neatly make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

Christ is freezing inside
The veterans cries
The hyenas break cover
And stream through the meadow
And the fog rolls in
Through his bottle of gin

So he picks up a stone
That looks like a bone

And the bullets fly
And the rivers run dry
And the fat girls sigh
And the network anchor persons lie
And the soldier's alone
In the video zone

But the monkey's not watching
He's slipped out to the kitchen
To pile the dishes
And answer the phone

You obviously don't understand the prose of the lyrics or what they mean.

Hint: It's not a " Religious" lyric or prose

You have a natural tendency
To squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties
You wear the right masks
You're old but you still
Like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change
And you're home on the range

You opened the suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
A comfort a friend

Only upstaged in the end
By the Uzi machine gun
Does the recoil remind you.....
.....Remind you of sex

Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer, who you gonna kill next

I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
I swam in your pools
And lay under your palm trees

I looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find on their desert stage

And the bravery of being out of range
Yeah the question is vexed
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer who you gonna kill next

Hey bartender, over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir, turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs

They're really great for righting wrongs

You hit the target, win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away..........
......3,000 miles away

We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
