Lyrics

When the fishes, out of the seas
Grew some legs and walked about
And the monkeys down from their trees
Took up yakking clear & loud
When the stuff that he created
By and large emancipated, liberated,
God was not, God was not
God was not amused

When the woman, lovingly carved
From the rib of the old dude
Got in her head that she might have rights
Came up with an attitude
When she said my body’s mine
Independence is not a crime
When from a rib she grew a spine,
God was not, God was not amused

And you know (we know)
You know like I know (we know, we know)
He might have been in over his head
Big Bang
What could go wrong now (we know)?
He only meant to give himself a new planet
And although the road we’re on now
He paved with only the best of intentions
Who hides (we know) in the details now
Between planning and implementation?

God is not the kind of guy
Self-analyzing, mortified
He shrugged & said “this mess ain’t mine
I’ll make another pie in the sky”
He might have added “I’m all alone,
Ain’t got no clue what’s right from wrong,
I make stuff up as I go along,
I am not, I am not your mom”

The crusaders, horses high
Made up a story then made up their minds
They said the Big Guy he wants it like,
He wants it like it was
Before you people made him such an ass
And they chased the monkeys up their trees
And the fishes back to sea
They told the woman your body’s mine
They found her guilty of a crime
And then they tried to break her spine

When the place went down the drain
God’s creation a world of pain,
When in his name they went to fight
As if they knew what’s wrong from right
He didn’t even care a bit
Had it with humans, was done, he quit
And all the worship he gave no shit
God was not, God was not around
