Lyrics for God

And I looked up and I spoke to God And God said look at you, don't look at me You only call on me when you need me And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all I don't enter your head for weeks at a time And the times I do are in your despair that you created and not I And still you look up at me in such pleading terms That's how I kinda come to know you But don't look at me look at you Don't look at me look at you And every night I pray to God Please save the lives of those I love and take me instead If you really need someone to keep you company On that golden chair in the glare Bring your guns to the table and recite your prayer Lose all your hatred if you are to pray in there The temple you're seeking is in front of your nose Because the message you're giving is doing nothing for those Seek and you shall find Seek Seek and you shall find Seek The oldest is the young The youngest the oldest The oldest is the young The youngest the oldest The oldest is the young The youngest the oldest The oldest is the young The youngest the oldest The oldest is the young
