God Forbid

Well, I do believe God hates money
Look at who He's giving it to, He must not care about it at all
Must like to see it abused, thrown around, wasted
On things that we don't use
That's the only excuse
We got mansions no one lives in
Folks buy yachts and they can't swim
God don't care about money, if He did
God forbid

It's got to be (it's got to be) that God hates the water
Look at who He's giving it to, He must not care about it all
Do you think He's confused why we're working
Filling the oceans full of crude to poison the food?
Tells His friends that we're crazy
'Cuz we won't leave well enough alone
Fish can't find another home
Devil or the deep blue sea, your choice kid
God forbid

Spend what we don't have on things that we don't need
Impressing all the people we don't like
Busy trying to fill these cracks with nicotine and Botox
Building walls, making laws that tell us who to blame
(The more we change, the more we stay the same)
The fire rages on, we're choking on the smoke
Of this eternal flame
Burning it down while we make it rain

Strung out on the politics of broken things that we can't fix
One for the money, two for the show
Too much ain't enough gimme some more
(Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, liposuction, cybersex
Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, woohoo)
Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, liposuction, cybersex
Bank bailouts and Third World debt
Gimme cheap gas and a private jet

Fancy cars, exotic pets
God must dig that stuff, I guess
And if God is one of us
Man, that would explain so much
(Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, liposuction, cybersex
Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, woohoo)
(Diamonds, Botox, cigarettes, cheap gas and a private jet)
Sing hallelujah
Amen
