If god had a name, what would it be?ÂÂÂÂ
And would you call it to his faceÂÂÂÂ
if you were faced with Him in all His glory?ÂÂÂÂ
What would you ask if you had just one question?ÂÂÂÂ
And yeah, yeah, God is great.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, God is good.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.ÂÂÂÂ
What if god was one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a slob like one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home?ÂÂÂÂ
If God had a face, what would it look like?ÂÂÂÂ
And would you want to seeÂÂÂÂ
if seeing meant that you would have to believeÂÂÂÂ
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saintsÂÂÂÂ
and all the prophets?ÂÂÂÂ
And yeah, yeah, God is great.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, God is good.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.ÂÂÂÂ
What if god was one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a slob like one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home?ÂÂÂÂ
Just trying to make his way home, back up to heaven all alone.ÂÂÂÂ
Nobody calling on the phone,ÂÂÂÂ
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, God is great.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, God is good.ÂÂÂÂ
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.ÂÂÂÂ
What if god was one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a slob like one of us,ÂÂÂÂ
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home,ÂÂÂÂ
just trying to make his way home, just like a holy rolling stone?ÂÂÂÂ
Back up to heaven all alone, just trying to make his way home.ÂÂÂÂ
Nobody calling on the phone,ÂÂÂÂ(Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire/Richey James)
Primary prole MP judge general policeman
Figureheads sucked in as just another token
To sell your culture and tolerate another
Annihilation in the persuit of self-love corruption
Vision of dead desire - tune in reception control
Vision of dead desire - underclass coma zone
Don't pacify your life to suit dead law convention
White trash held up as just more gold chain icons
State fed lies charm empty eyes
Happy thoughts a unity death smile of acceptance
Vision of dead desire - mainline on a death fix
Vision of dead desire - bleed the thought of throwing bricks
Europe land, realise your thoughts
Kill all ruling class laws
