A religião?

God Only Knows

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 fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief
Yesterday he was God, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for relief
God only knows

I damn you all to hell

I speak in the name of god
I know him intimately
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 fuck up
As self-righteous and bigoted as those who created him
A cruel desert god with absolutely no sense of humor

I speak in the name of God
I'm his intermediary
I'm a monk, I'm a priest, I'm a vicar
If you want to go to God, you have to come through me
Because my God is bigger than your God,
My God is bigger than your God
My God is the only way

How do you feel old man?
How do you feel?
Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanatics

Oh Lord,
Is heaven full of loath, of these babbling preachers and God-fearing biggots
All this self-righteous self-appointed prophets

Because if so,
Well, I know where I'd rather be
Away from this cacophony

God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
