Elton John

God Never Came There
Broken beams across the doorway Plaster cracked and peeling paper Nicolette wears dirty dresses Bathes herself in last week's water Their roofs are tin-beaten metal The skeletal have rusty voices Sylvio, he sleeps on headlines Dreams of love and lemon ices chorus But he doesn't believe, he no longer prays What's the point, He's not listening anyway 'Cause God never came here He sold them a lie God made a fool of them God passed them by God resents the global franchise Bodies packed like saints entombed Give us now your happy meals Bless us in the baby boom We starve and you demand we pray To the faces etched in stone Auction up your ancient wealth So we can build ourselves a home Songtexte [repeat chorus] We need blankets, not you blessings Send us shoes instead of angels Time instead of bibles Bring us bread instead of prayers [repeat chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
