Paul Weller - God lyrics

rate me

And I looked up

And I spoke to God

And God said

Look at you, don't look at me

You only call on me when you need me

And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all

I don't enter your head for weeks at a time

And the times I do

They're in your despair

That you created, not I

And still, you look up to me

In such pleading terms

Thats how I know you

But don't look at me, look at you

Don't look at me, look at you

And every night I pray to God

Please save the lives of those I love

Take me instead

If you really need someone

To keep you company

On a golden chair in the air

Bring your Gods to the table

And recite your prayer

Lose all your hatred

If you are to pray in there

The temple you're seeking

Is in front of your nose

Because the message you're giving

Is doing nothing for those

(Seek, you shall find - repeat)

The oldest is the young

The youngest the oldest (repeat)
