Dear God

Dear God, hope you got 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 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,

 I can't believe in you

 Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?

  (or

  /D)

Did you make mankind after we made you?

 And the devil, too?

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

 I won't believe in heaven and 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'd perceive

 That my heart's here upon my sleeve

 If there's one thing I don't believe in
