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 image See them fighting in the street 'Cause they can't make opinions meet About God, C D I can't believe in you Fmaj7 C G C Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Fmaj7 Dsus2 (or A7sus4/D ) Did you make mankind after we made you? A/C# C C/E E7 Am riff And the devil, too? C D (2nd time thru) Bridge: bypass Am thing and go to C riff Dear God, don't know if you've 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 image Still believing that junk is true Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God I can't believe in I don't believe in Am/F# I won't believe in heaven and hell Bb No saints, no sinners, no devil as well Dm No pearly gates, no thorny crown Bb You're always letting us humans down G The wars you bring, the babes you drown Bb Those lost at sea and never found Dm And it's the same the whole world 'round Bb The hurt I see helps to compound G That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Bb Is just somebody's unholy hoax Dm And if you're up there you'd perceive Bb That my heart's here upon my sleeve G A If there's one thing I don't believe in
