When the President talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?


Have you heard of the band Bright Eyes? Pretty much Conner Oberst, writing lyrics, singing, guitar, etc. with a full band behind him. Anyway, I just heard this song and thought, geez, this guy should be, if he isn't, a DUer.

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

"When The President Talks To God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

4. I like Fleetwood Mac's version
Now, when I talked to God I knew he’d understand
He said, stick by me and I’ll be your guiding hand
But don’t ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

6. When you talk to God it's called prayer...
...but when God talks to you it's called Schizophrenia.

7. Beautiful song
Great question.

But * doesn't talk to God, obviously. * believes HE himself is the only higher power who matters.

I wish God would pound his face.
