Lyrics
7 Days
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If there's a God
Do you think he's looking down
Curled up on his couch right now?
As we fail to figure it out
Does he turn down the sound?
Is he proud? Are we proud?
Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter
Making boring people famous
Let's pretend they're fascinating
Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
Or that pigment or religion really matters
We're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created
It could make for some good TV
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
A spectacle of cut and paste
That we've made
Would you say? Please, say
It was worth the seven days
Does he hang his head at all the greed we possess?
As the anti-social media perpetuates the mess
Maybe it's a test, maybe he's upset by the loose ends
Stressed like the rest of us
It happens to the best of us
God, or is it Mr. G to me?
I hope that through the static you'll show what's the clarity
'Cause it's hard to find the silver lining in the bittersweet
Wonder if you're praying for us 'fore you go to sleep
Do you sleep in peace?
'Cause we're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, but don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created
It has made for damn good TV
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
The spectacle of cut and paste
That we've made
Would you say? Please, say
It was worth the seven days
Don't touch the remote
We'll be back in a moment
We are not hopeless
We are just coping
The mayhem is rolling
But it ain't showbiz
Reality's potent
Chaotic, I know it
But we're growing
Have some hope in us
And were we worth all the time you gave up?
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
The spectacle of cut and paste
That we've made
Would you say? Please, say
It was worth the seven days, yeah
Oh, oh, mmm
Oh, was it worth the seven days?
