I am angry at my God.

about

I am.
and I hope this doesn't get me in trouble.

lyrics

All you do is run your mouth
All over our little town
Let's have it out
Right here
Patron Saint of all the Non-Believers
That you had once under your thumb
Now am I the one that got away?

I am angry at my god
Whether he knows it or not
He owes me and he won't settle up
It's not enough when I am angry with our god
Whether I believe in him or not
He let me down and couldn't give a fuck
And I've yet to hear his word
So who am I to go speak first?

How about you beat me to the punch for once?
Do you see a little bit of me in yourself when you look down on us?
Do your mountain ranges seem a little dull
With their melted-diamond glaciers cause you're alone?
Well I, for one, I don't believe
And you owe me
And you owe me, yeah
Because seeing is sincere
And I double-dare you to show your face around here
Anytime in the near future

I am angry at my god
Whether he knows it or not
He owes me and he won't settle up
It's not enough when I am angry with our god
Whether I believe in him or not
He let me down and couldn't give a fuck
And I've yet to hear his words
So who am I to go speak first?

Who am I to speak up first?
When all you do is run your mouth
All over our little town
Let's have it out
We are waiting
We are waiting here like deer in front of trains
Your headlights wipe us away
We are waiting
We're still waiting
We are waiting here but I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Am I the one that got away?
Am I the one that got away, oh?
Fuck it.

"you know that ringing in your ears? that 'eee'?
that's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song.
Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again, enjoy it while it lasts."
(taken from Alfonso Cuaron's 'Children of Men')
