Dear God (Remastered 2001)

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

I 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 own image

See them fighting in the street

'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God

I 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

And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look

And all the people that you made in your own image

Still believing that junk is true

Well, I know it ain't so, and you know

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

No pearly gates, no thorny crown

You're always letting us humans down

The wars you bring, the babes 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

Is just somebody's unholy hoax

And if you're up there, you'll perceive

That my heart's here upon my sleeve

If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

Dear God
