We took the p out of paradise just to produce this hell And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell We've lived in this world seen her used and abused That's why god is singing the blues They felled a great oak over there they filled a duck pond over here We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to our fears Maybe it's too late to spoil another view That's why god is singing the blues Forgive us father for we know not what we do Blame it on each other and in the name of you Forgive us mother for the pain we caused we destroyed what's yours That's why papa's singing the blues Polluted all the oceans pulped all the trees Plagued by chronic boredom we blew a hole in the atmosphere We tore out her heart left her battered and bruised That's why god is singing the blues Forgive us father for we know not what we do Blame it on each other and in the name of you Forgive us mother for the pain we caused we destroyed what's yours That's why papa's singing the blues You may believe in evolution you may believe in god's great creation The only thing we know for sure we got a man made situation We turned this whole world into a dying zoo That's why god is singing the blues You better live on your feet than die on your knees I stole that from some graffiti lord have mercy please Living in this babylon keeps us confused That's why god is singing the blues
