I Should Have Been God

I should have been god

I woulda done a pretty good job

no religion, no rich and poor,

no disease, no death and no war.

I'd abolish original sin,

free will's fine but what's the use in the end?

Moses, Mohammed and Jesus Christ,

Buddha and Krishna, it's just a roll of the dice.

I'd give away angel wings

let everybody do their own thing

let the sun shine everyday

let everybody find their own way

I'd make the devil retire

give up earthquake, flood, famine and fire.

I'd keep 'em all high as a kite

and let 'em all in on the secret of life.

I'd give away angel wings . . .

I should have been god

and not just some poor mortal slob.

I'd give away eternal bliss

you can bet your sweet ass

there'd be no atheists.
