Maybe Your God's On The Toilet [2011] Humour
Some might say that sarcasm ain't the language of Zion
Interfaith conference on Mount Carmel
Downloads mp3 Chords (pdf) Lyrics (pdf)
We use different paths to climb the same mountain
So let's build a safe place to explore the terrain
We're
all part of ancient faith communities
There
may be common ground that we can embrace
No
one person has all the answers
So
let's try to find the things that unite
I
hope that you'll be part of the conversation
I'll
share my feelings first if you like
Maybe
your god's on the toilet
Maybe
he can't get to the phone
maybe
the man with the plan, the whole world in his hands
Sits
on a porcelain throne
Maybe
he's making a pit stop
Loosing
a couple of pounds
Either
way he's not home so leave your prayer at the tone
Perhaps
he'll answer you when he comes out
I
hope I haven't somehow offended you
I
hope I haven't said something wrong
Because
you practice human sacrifice
And
you outnumber me four hundred to one
You
fundamentalists don't think humour
Has
a place within religious debate
But
I'm just trying to facilitate a paradigm shift
So
lighten up you prophets of Baal
Maybe
your god's on the toilet
Doing
a poop or a pee
Is
he still in control when he's sat on the bowl
And
he's bombing the porcelain sea?
Maybe
he's mixing some concrete
Maybe
he's moving some earth
He's
dropping some logs, seeing a man 'bout a dog
So
perhaps we should just call off the search
Some
might say that sarcasm ain't the language of Zion
And
I should wash my potty mouth out when I'm through
But
ask brother James, maybe he can explain
I'm
a man, just a man, just like you
Maybe
your god's on the toilet
Trying
to do number two
Grow
a tail, hang a rat, park a coil, send a fax
Drop
the kids off at the pool
Maybe
he's blasting a dookie
Punching
a growler somewhere
He's
taking a slam, he's pinching a yam
But
it doesn't mean that he doesn't care
Maybe
he's laying some wolf bait
Maybe
he's laying a brick
He's
going boom boom in the little boys room
He'll
come out when he's launched the big ship
Maybe
your god's on the toilet
But
I'm starting to entertain doubts
So
I guess I'll just go 'cos your god's a no-show
And
if he's in there then he's not coming out.
