Dear God - XTC

Dear God, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don’t get enough to eat from God
Can’t believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can’t make opinions meet about God
They can’t believe in you
Did you make disease
And the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind
After we made you?
And the devil too?
Dear God, don’t know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well, I know it ain’t, so do you
Dear God
I can’t believe in –
I don’t believe in –
I won’t believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no Devil as well
The Pearly Gates, no thorny crown
You’re always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babies you drown
Those lost at sea, and never found
And it’s the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
They’re just somebody’s unholy hoax
And if you’re up there, you perceive
That my heart’s here, upon my sleeve
If there’s one thing I don’t believe in
It’s you
Dear God
