Dear God Lyrics

Artist: XTC
Album: Fossil Fuels: The XTC Singles

Dear god, hope you get the letter and...
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 in the street
'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
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god don't know if you 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

I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That father, son and holy ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you
Dear god

Comments/Interpretations
by Peter on 5/22/2008 10:26pm This song is written as a series of reasons why a God does not exist. The lyrics are written from an extremely limited perspective of the world and the universe.
by dan on 6/25/2008 10:13am God is real this song lyrically blows maybe if it actuall had rythym
by Littlejohn on 7/4/2008 12:20pm Kinda like the book of Job if Job had actually LOST his faith. But, hey - if we could proclaim evrything we didn't like or understand to therefore not exist, we wouldn't have to pay taxes...!
by George on 7/6/2008 6:51am Very good lyrics
by alicia on 7/16/2008 12:30am This is a great song but shouldnt be taken too seriously, its just a good song. period.
by Lorraine on 7/21/2008 2:33pm This song is so much more honest than the bible and it's spot on. I think it should be taken serious. In a world that uses the supposed word of god for pure seething hatred etc. The bible and all it's loving bible bashers, have destroyed many good people's lives. We should be fair & kind but not for fear of eternal damnation by a loving GOD!!!
by Galileo on 1/6/2009 4:45pm It's funny how people are always for religious freedom as long as it's THEIR religious beliefs. When someone writes a song (like this one) about MY religious beliefs, they have plenty of insults about it. Just like the Taliban. I thought this was a catchy tune until I actually listened to the lyrics and discovered, it's entirely about my beliefs. I've grown to love this song. Play it back-to-back with Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus".
by Siri on 4/3/2009 10:05pm I personally love this song and thinks he had a great point. What I don't get is why people say its okay to be atheist, but as soon as somebody writes a song about it, people flip....
