chuck brodsky - our gods lyrics
we worship our gods – we buy souvenirs
admire our trinkets – in front of our mirrors
a hat with a cross – a shirt with a star
the names of our teams – tattooed on our arms
we’re given our gods at the moment of birth
the gods of our fathers- all others be cursed
at the earliest age – we memorize verse
the gospel – as it is written
we swear at our gods – curse our rotten luck
from the side of the road – when we self-destruct
we ask them to save us – to get us unstuck
from the muck we get ourselves into
temples of stained gl-ss – hand cut stones
we build for our gods – such magnificent homes
we visit sometimes – but we don’t stay long
not when the football games are on
we make deals with our gods – to win back what we’ve lost
in our pants pockets – our fingers are crossed
lord, give us this day – make these prosperous times
help us – to cover our crimes
we go to the seers – say, “show us the script
that our gods have left for us – stashed in some crypt”
“ah, secrets,” they say – “what has never been told…
yours…for a pile of your gold”
we k!ll for our gods – we wage holy wars
-ss-ssinate presidents – burn down bookstores
m-ssacre children to – settle old scores
yelling, “our gods are great!”
our gods must be proud – of the blood on our hands
and the way we go conquering – far away lands
in the names of our gods – may the glory be theirs
let the spoils & the plunders be ours
we serve our gods – in such humorless ways
rituals we do – laws we obey
sometimes in between we pray
but how often do we say “i love you?”
