lyrics

She said she'd pray for me, turns out she didn't lie
What would she say for me? She didn't specify
That rascal god, he got the message and he went and read my mind
I saw a game to play cuz I'm a smart fellow
I thought the same as Ray, I thought of marshmallows
But ol' Jehovah saw right through it and so here's what he did find

He saw this goddamn place is killing me and I can't stand these people
They're all ignorant quite willingly and can't tell good from evil
So Father, hear my prayer tonight we're Go-morons and we're Sodomites
We need some fire and brimstone or a good old-fashioned flood - all right (all right!)

I am an honest man, God knows I speak the truth
He was astonished and He knew just what to do
He was my own deus ex machina when I needed Him most
He saw the Christians who do not resemble Christ
The Republicans who don't fight for civil rights
I wasn't his most ideal candidate but I could be his host

He saw this goddamn place is killing me and I can't stand these people
They're all ignorant quite willingly and can't tell good from evil
So Father, hear my prayer tonight we're Go-morons and we're Sodomites
We need some fire and brimstone or a good old-fashioned flood - all right (all right!)

Everything will be alright (everything must be destroyed!)
Everything will be alright (everything must be destroyed!)

He said exactly when the heavy rain would start
I'd get to pack some friends aboard my rainbow ark
And sail into the future while the rest of humankind was left to drown
I'd have to make a list of those who would survive
Knowing that all the rest soon would not be alive
But I could see their bodies once again after the water all went down

Because this goddamn place is killing me and I can't stand these people
They're all ignorant quite willingly and can't tell good from evil
So Father, hear my prayer tonight we're Go-morons and we're Sodomites
We need some fire and brimstone or a good old-fashioned flood - all right (all right!)
