Tricky - Dear God

Tricky & Costanza Francavilla

Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
Hope you, 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
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
I can't believe
Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe
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 exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe
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
It's you

I know it's not the original lyrics, but in this version I think they say "Your name is along with the crooks in this book"

@SummerHolidayMusic

that's probably why you lost the fist fight. this version is tripe mate

[SummerHolidayMusic]

@jbugko The relationship between my (identical twin) brother and I is quite complicated and, although the pretext for fighting was a disagreement over which version of this song is better, I think that what really angered me (you'd have to ask him how he felt) was what his preference meant for our future relationship. It was some sort of aesthetic show-down and I was worried that he was PURPOSEFULLY rejecting our shared sense of musical radicalism for an outlook that I couldn't understand…
