Lyrics

If there's a God
Do you think He's lookin' 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
Makin' borin' people famous, let's pretend they're fascinatin'
Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
Or that pigment or religion really matters
(Oh-ah, yeah)
We're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, don't turn away from Your screen
(Oh-ah, yeah)
At least the bubble that we've created could make for some good TV
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know You're tunin' 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
Does He hang His head at all the greed that 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 (Yeah)
Or is it Mr. G to me?
I hope that through the static, You'll show us the clarity
'Cause it's hard to find the silver linin' in the bittersweet
Wonder if You're prayin' for us 'fore You go to sleep
Do You sleep in peace?
(Oh-ah, yeah)
'Cause we're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, don't turn away from Your screen
(Oh-ah, yeah)
At least the bubble that we've created has made for damn good TV
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know You're tunin' 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 copin'
The mayhem is rollin'
But it ain't showbiz
Reality's potent
Chaotic, I know it
But we're growin'
Have some hope in us
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And were we worth all the time You gave up?
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know You're tunin' 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 (Oh)
Would You say (Oh)
Please say (Oh)
It was worth the seven days
Yeah
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
(Oh-oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
