jeff schaller and the long way home - in his own image lyrics

Loading...

my god is a stranger
he has no love for me
and if this was his plan he can catch these hands
in the bar’s back alley
he shoots whiskey like a cowboy
he chases pills with wine
and he dances ‘round the graves of children
victims of war crimes

he’s an assh0l+ and a coward
yet everyone i see falls to their knees and kisses his feet
while he lets them go hungry

and then sunday morning wake up
and if you are in luck
you’ll find him there
his hand in the air
asking for the buck
what the f+ck is this sh+t?
and why do we fall for it?

i’m learning how to say no
when he’s too drunk to stand up
he leans on me
we stumble out to the street
and in the gutter he throws up
a man with no home asks him
“sir, could you spare me anything?”
god blames him for his own misfortune
says, “you won’t spend it wisely!”
so i drive him to his mansion
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh
in his pearly+gated community
keeps him safe from the world

the good word is a lie
we tell ourselves to justify awful things

- jeff schaller and the long way home lyrics
