Lyrics
God
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.
And I looked up
and I spoke to God
And God said
look at you,
don't look at me
You only call on me
when you need me
And when you don't
you hardly
think of me
at all
I don't enter
your head
for weeks at a time
And the times I do
are in your despair
that you created
and not I
And still you
look up at me
in such
pleading terms
That's how
I kinda come
to know you
But don't look at me
look at you
Don't look at me
look at you
And every night
I pray to God
Please save the lives
of those I love
and take me instead
If you really
need someone
to keep you company
On that golden chair
in the glare
Bring your guns
to the table
and recite your prayer
Lose all your hatred
if you are t
o pray in there
The temple
you're seeking i
s in front of your nose
Because the message
you're giving
is doing nothing for those
Seek and you shall find
Seek
Seek and you shall find
Seek
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
