“What God Wants Part 1”    (Waters)

What God wants God gets. God help us all.
What God wants God gets. God help us all.
What God wants God gets. God help us all.

What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.

The kid in the corner looked at the priest,
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar.

The priest said
“God wants goodness,
God wants light,
God wants mayhem,
God wants a clean fight”.

What God wants God gets,
What God wants God gets.


Don't look so surprised,
“It's only dogma”,
The alien prophet cried.
The beetle and the springbok,
Took the Bible from its hook,
The monkey in the corner,
Wrote the lesson in his book.

What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.

God wants peace,
God wants war,
God wants famine,
God wants chain stores.

What God wants God gets.
God wants sedition,
God wants sex.
God wants freedom,
God wants Semtex.

What God wants God gets,
What God wants God gets.

Don't look so afraid,
I'm only joking.
The alien comic lied.
The jackass and hyena,
Took the feather from its hook,
The monkey in the corner,
Wrote the joke down in his book.

What God wants God gets
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.

God wants boarders,
God wants crack,
God wants rainfall,
God wants wetbacks.

What God wants God gets.
God wants voodoo,
God wants shrines,
God wants law,
God wants organised crime.
God wants crusade,
God wants Jihad.
God wants good,
God wants bad.

What God wants God gets
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
What God wants God gets.
