If I ever get to Heaven, gonna walk up to His desk
And say
Got a couple questions
Wonder whether you can answer me?
You put everything together
Yeah, You made me just the way I am
If You're a lover that can tell me
Then please help me understand
Why You put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When You always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
What'd You make me that way for?
That I'd be a civil war
Now I've been living with my demons
They've been eating at me every day
I like change 'round my neck
Most nights get the best of me
And I'm ashamed, I'm amazed
I'm afraid of the wicked I need
And I'm sure there's silver ling
And I'm trying, but I cannot see
Why You put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When You always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
Now, what'd You make me that way for?
I'd be a civil war
'Cause damn it, I'm tired and I wanna change
But You put it right into my DNA
So just for one evening, I curse Your name
And ask why the hell do You do this to me?
Why would You put, why would You put
Why You put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When You always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
Now, what'd You make me that way for?
I'd be a civil war
