God, the Devil and the Government Songtext
We're gonna have some fun today
We're gonna shake, we're gonna laugh and play
We're gonna pray for a time today
God'll give me a jar of marmalade

We're gonna do what we're meant to do
With a chest gesture and an attitude
I'm gonna pray for my bank account
Jesus gonna give me more than I can count
We're gonna take everything we're owed
Spoils and boons from the long hard road
I'm gonna ask for help with the game
Jesus gonna give me a pound of cocaine
Jesus gonna give me the fame
Hallelujah

Haven't yet had the best time today
Whatever happened to ask and take?
So I'm gonna pray to a different man
If God can't help, maybe the Devil can

We're gonna live like kings and queens
We'll stay smart and only flirt with greed
I'm gonna promise my soul and my praise
Devil's gonna give me a big old raise
Devil's gonna take up my case
Hallelujah

Haven't yet seen greener grass or trees
Nothing good or bad, just the same old scene
So I'm gonna pray to a different set
If the Devil won't help, I'll take the Government

Because they give my rights and they send me checks
And they let me smoke my cigarettes
If heaven and hell require something of me
I'm just gonna sit around and be free
Ignore the democrats and the GOP
And America, well she don't really ever ask that much of me
And if She does, well then I'll just leave
Move to Canada
Hallelujah
