WARNING! This song is not to make any kind of statement. My brother wrote about a man who wasn't anything close to a saint, yet one who thought that praying to God would still get him into heaven... or something like that. I covered this song because I think it is about being human. There are times when I feel God is real, but there are just as many times when I wonder if it's just something man made. Kinda like that AC/DC song "Who made who?"
Anyway, here are the lyrics:
i feel the worst
has yet to come
as i fall to my knees
make me plead
here as i bleed
i only wish to see
and there you go
taken by me
your own religious creed
CHORUS:
before you go
make sure you know
this god is not for real
this is how it feels
hurry up
your god forgives
make your sins
and throw them away
the damage done
will not forget
there's nothing left to say
[CHORUS]
pray to your god if that's what it takes
to take away all your pain
it's okay 'cause he takes it away
so that you won't die in vain
i'm sorry if it may seem
i have no decency
i had to open my mind
to make you realize
your god is faking my eyes
and on the day that you die ('how will you feel when you die' on the original)
and that fucker isn't there
i know that i won't care
[CHORUS]
