Lyrics Dear God (Band Demo) - XTC
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
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
