Verse One:



After seven years of rockin'

How do you rate me?

Poorly or greatly?

Everybody seems to be goin' for their's lately

The God that looks like me, the God that I can trust?

A God of peace and love, not mass hysteria

I don't want a God that blesses America

I could never really vote for the devil

Verse Two:



Title, take the title from the Bible we can get there

Rip the title from off the front of the Bible, God don't live there

Too many inconsistencies, too many mysteries

Picture the Pope and the Vatican, laughing and drinking and singing and

Kissing me

I stand with God whether I'm paid or whether I'm cryin' broke

I like to ask these po
