Here goes.. Please consider that this is a song..not my personal feelings, but a very powerful song. I think we all feel outrage at some of the things that happen in the world which causes us to question........everything. It has been covered to perfection by Sarah McLachlan as well.Dear God Dear God, Hope you got the letter, And I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer, But all the people that you made in your image, See them starving on their feet, 'Cause they don't get enough to eat From God, I can't believe in you. Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears, And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street, 'Cause they can't make opinions meet, About God, I can't believe in you. Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! Dear God, Don't know if you noticed, But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book. Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, And all the people that you made in your image, Still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't and so do you, Dear God, I can't believe in, I don't believe in, I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, No Devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound, that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Is just somebody's unholy hoax, And if you're up there you'll perceive, That my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in... It's you, Dear God.-----XTC off the album "Skylarking"
