(Music and Lyrics by Andy Partridge) Performed by XTC on the album "Skylarking" (Virgin Records, 1986) Performed by Sarah McLachlan on the album "A Testimonial Dinner: The Music Of XTC" (Thirsty Ears Records, 1995) Dear God, Hope you got the letter and I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer But all the people that you made in your image, See them starving on their feet 'Cause they don't get enough to eat From God I can't believe in you. Dear God, Sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street 'Cause they can't make opinions meet About God, I can't believe in you. SongtexteDid you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too?! Dear God, Don't know if you noticed, but... Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, And all the people that you made in your image, Still believing that junk is true Well I know it ain't, and so do you Dear God, I can't believe in... I don't believe in... I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Is just somebody's unholy hoax And if you're up there you'd perceive That my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in..... It's you..... Dear God. Aus Songtexte Mania
