Eminemmylou - The People's Prayer lyrics

rate me

Dear God, you've got to intervene

The whole damn world has gone insane

Half dosed up with atropine

The rest prepared to get gangrene

All made out to be routine

By politicians and magazines

Saying 'we're gonna smash an evil

regime'

'Evil regime, Saddam Hussein'

And millions stuck in-between

Shots and bombs and fusilenes

And Tony Benn's our go-between

But what the fuck hope can Iraqis see

Jesse Jackson:

'It's hope time, it's healing time

It's hope time, it's healing time'

The only Gods that we adore

Are love and peace and plenty

We're better pleased to make one more

Than be the death of twenty

Come on baby, let's make 1 more

Tony Benn:

'It must be about democracy'

Dear God, where's your

miraculous deed

You've got to act now, don't mess

around no more

The world's heating up for a badass

war

And the deal is they trash the poor

While dictators hide and the rich

get more

And it's so awful but it's not unlawful

Cause the resolutions are sealed n signed

And the world feels like it's down

upside

And singing raps is so naive

War is sick; Bush is thick;

He's a hick; Saddam's a prick;

Let's cause a war,

ie mass destruction

That's the so called sane instruction

To remove the weapons of mass destruction

To me that's just some mad corruption

We've got to have some 'quick, short, sharp destruction'

The only Gods that we adore

Are love and peace and plenty

We're better pleased to make

one more

Than be the death of twenty

Come on baby, let's make 1 more

So Dear God, get your ass down here

You've got to murder hate and

kill the war

You've got to burn intolerance

and impose peace

So God, this could be your

masterpiece

No more scorn for things gone wrong

You can live up to the hype

and redress the wrongs

Fight the good fight with all your might

And let the puppet world leaders know who's right

So Dear God, whatever you are

Jesus or Allah or a superstar

Share out the oil and save the poor

Spare the kids and spoil the rods

You could start again and set

new laws

Get some rappers in charge with

morality

Tougher than rhinos but sane, you'll

see

All they'll murder is some crass old rhyme

But they won't curdle the milk of humankind

Until we're all turned into rivers

of slime

No

The new wars would be battle raps

A new world order of baseball caps

American and Islamic too

The new world language would

start with booo

Boo hoo hoo hoo, boo hoo hoo

That's where we are heading to

The only Gods that we adore

Are love and peace and plenty

We're better pleased to make

one more

Than be the death of twenty

Come on baby, let's make 1 more

So Dear God, you've got to intervene

I think I've just gone insane

I want to fight war with my bare fists

I want to kill hate, do you get the gist'

And I'm ****** off with pacifists

'Cause what have they been doing all these goddamn years

Letting bullies and puppets

walk over us'

So God, have you had your fill

Thou shalt make love

Thou shalt not kill

The only Gods that we adore

Are love and peace and plenty

We're better pleased to

make one more

Than be the death of twenty

Come on baby, let's make 1 more
