God's havin' a laugh

 

God's havin' a laugh
at my expense
he's selling temptation
sittin' on the fence

God's havin' a laugh
pushin' joy my way
then snatching it back
without my say

God's havin' a laugh
makin' morality a choice
asking the questions
in an obscure voice

God's havin' a laugh
when he gets an answer
the questions multiply
each choice is a cancer

God's havin' a laugh
never heeding my pain
each time I get healed
the world cuts again

God's havin' a laugh
making all my dreams
incredible nights
before daytime screams

God's havin' a laugh
and I wonder why
if it makes him so happy
to see me cry


Well fuck you God
my life is my own
I'll make my mistakes
but you won't bring me down


God's havin' a laugh
and when we meet
I'll tell him so
as I take up his seat

And when next you feel
God's havin' a lark
look to the heavens
and praise be to Mark!
