Lyrics
Now I saw God in a convertible with a yellow bandana on his head
He had a long white beard, and man, He acted weird
'Guess He remembered what the angels' said
Then I saw God on an airplane, it struck me funny
'Cause I thought He could fly
You know, I thought He had wings and halos and things, a little dove that told us why
So I asked Him, what's the problem, and He made this remark
People only pray when life gets hard, then they blame it all on God
God
Now, I saw God in a movie. He didn't speak 'cause He had no lines
And since He didn't talk I watched the way He walked and His footsteps echoed mine
Then I saw God in a baby. You know, those little things that cry
And it looked up at me, but all I could see was an old man trying to hide
So I asked Him, could He tell me, how come so many false starts
And He said, people wait 'til their worlds fall apart
Then they blame it all on God.
God
Now I think God is a fairy-tale, like a shelter from the rain
For people who need miracles and love to just complain
'Cause I saw God in the mirror and He looked me in the eye
But I combed my hair and walked away, again I passed Him by
'Cause that day I felt happy and the pain was not that sharp
We all seem to think we're all so smart
We sit and watch our world just fall apart
And people only pray when life gets hard and then we blame it all on
We blame it all on
