lyrics

I don't trust him and why should you
I mean, look at all the trouble he's caused
We cross ourselves and genuflect
We obey every one of his laws
We get baptized and eat fish on Fridays
We follow all his sacraments
We do his bidding and fight his wars
We rid ourselves of discontents
We live out all of his commandments
We never steal, covet and/or kill
We try not to take his good name in vain
We know he has just so much goodwill

I don't like him, never have
He has made my life a living hell
And those I know who choose to live without him
Their lives seem pretty darn swell
We sacrifice, give up for lent
We tithe, we pray and we confess
And we defend him to the nonbelievers
When they say all he does is repress
We do our best to spread the word
Until every man alive sings his praise
We kiss his ass and shine his shoes
We follow all of his crazy ways

And after our pain and suffering
And after all of our goddamn work
Why oh why is God a goddamn jerk
Such a goddamn jerk

I don't trust him and there's a reason
He cannot seem to make up his mind
Does he want us to forge our own path
Does he want us to follow him blind
We weed out all of the heathen
We cast them down into the fire
We live a life of sacrifice
We rid ourselves of earthly desire
