God Told Me To

Guess, I´m in big trouble now
Newspapers tell you why
I´m one who caused such grief
When I made my family die
Shot them down with a gun
I bought near the liquor store
Guy from the T.V. news is here
He´s wondering what I did it for
Their faces twist and turn as if in pain
They look away from me as I explain
You see I did the things I had to do
(God told me to)
He said that I had better follow through
(God told me to)
He guaranteed that he would save my soul
(God told me so)
And now I sit here in this padded room
(God told me to)
What is there to say to you now?
What more can be said?
I did what the lord told me to do
Now Mom and Dad are dead
My aunts and uncles come from all around
They go on T.V. and they put me down
They do not realize what I had to do
(God told me to)
They look at me as if I´ve gone insane
(What did God say?)
He said they´d probably lock me up for good
(God said they would)
And now I sit here in this padded room
(God told me to)
Why can´t they let me be
Can´t they see?
I did what I had to do
When God issued his request
I said: "Yes."
Wouldn´t you?
There is no hope for me now
No light that I can see
No judge among the kingdom of man
Or jury will set me free
And so I bid you all a sad farewell
As I stay here locked in earthly hell
You see I did the things I had to do
(God told me to)
He said that I had better follow through
(God told me to)
He guaranteed that he would save my soul
(God told me so)
And now I sit here in this padded room
(God told me to)
