What God Wants Part 1

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

    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    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
