I think it’s basically
and unmistakably
the case
that when you stop and look at the place
you have to conclude
we’re screwed
and God doesn’t give a shit
that’s it
that’s all I have to say on the subject
we’re over-hyped and over-budget

and I’m sorry
if you’re worried
about God being absent
and you scrabble through the cabinet for muscle relaxant
because you’re not consoled
by the thought there’s no one at the controls
no one harvesting dutiful souls
ticking off names on golden scrolls
angels applauding lifetime goals
(etcetera, etcetera
like God’s some kinda administrator)

no
because you know
God’s a human construct
for legislating conduct
loving you today, hating you tomorrah
look what He did with Sodom & Gomorrah
everybody getting the cataclysm
you say it’s Freedom, I say hmm it really isn’t

and if He ever did exist
he’s patently quit
sick and tired
of the care required
his permit for Eternal Love expired
mankind a messy misfire
somehow hardwired
to self-destruct
a bit confused and somewhat fucked
the prototype sucked
the first-born Adam
up and at ‘em
a little too busy with the tarmacadam
driving out of Eden
proceeding
at speed
in a four-by-four he didn’t need
with God as his witness
off to do business
breaking his word and spreading the sickness

and so on
but I’ve only got the bible to go on

and even if you insist
I’ve missed
the point
which is God gave Man the run of the joint
as an exercise in freedom
an early example of a Holy threesome
living it large in the Garden of Eden
I’d say
that was a high price to pay
for trashing the Earth at the end of the day

so
despite the fact I sense you’re annoyed
here we are hurtling through the void
with nothing but our egos and a pramful of toys
until Nature steps in a little after lunch
says come on people this is the crunch
you’ve had your time now I must insist
you absolutely cease and desist
I’ve got some other deals on my list
and the planet gets spritzed
and we all get fritzed
and it’s not only God who doesn’t exist
