Oh Lord, can it be true?
These things, they say about you
Oh what am I to do? Oh Lord

When I look out of my window
Everything I see
Is hate and murder, stabbing, stealing
Rape and larceny
Well I heard that you can stop it, Lord
But you just let it be?
Should make you look down and shake your head
They act like rabid monkeys
Chained up in a zoo
And The Bible states that each of
Us is modeled after you?
Well, hell, that should offend you Lord
If it does here's what you do

Oh Lord, can't you see?
What this has done to me?
I've lost my faith in thee woe is me

Well the preacher on the TV
He tells me if I'm poor
I should give him all my money
'Cause the Lord will give me more
Well I saw him wink and drag a
Sack of cash on out the door
Well he bought himself a Cadillac
And now I've got less than before! Whoa!

They say you'll bring down Armageddon
They say you'll break the seventh seal
Well, I hope you bring down Armageddon
'Cause through the fire and brimstone
At least I'll finally know you're real!
Real, real, real, woah!

People on the street
(Look down and shake your head)
They're ugly, mean, and rude
(Look down and shake your head)
They're bumping into me
(Get down and shake a leg)
They're bumping into you
(Get down and shake a leg)
They never say, "Excuse me"
(Jump down and wake the dead)
Or, "How do you do?"
(Jump down and wake them) oh Lord!
Oh Lord! I swear to you the next fool
Who keeps shooting his mouth off
(Look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head)
'Bout his Almighty friend up in the sky
(Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg)
Is gonna get a mighty load of
Me when I sound off
(Jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them)
In the way of a kick right in his eye! Wow!
(Oh Lord, oh Lord)
You're like the landlord of the
Hovel where i sit
(Look down and shake your head
Look down and shake your head)
I always pay my rent but
You ain't never fixing shi- (Shut yo mouth)
(Get down and shake a leg
Get down and shake a leg)
You should take a look around, Lord
Your world is just the pit's!
(Jump down and wake the dead
Jump down and wake them) oh Lord!
Oh Lord!
