What God Wants
What God wants God gets God help us all
What God wants God gets
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar
The priest said
God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
It's only dogma
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants peace
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stories
What God wants God gets
God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants semtex
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its book
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down his book
What God wants God gets
God wants boarders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks
What God wants God gets
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad
What God wants God gets
Do you believe in a better day
Do you have a faith in a golden way
If you do then we must come together this day
Come together as one united
Television audience
Brought together the sound of my voice
United united financially united socially
United spiritually and all possible ways
Through the power of money
And the power of your prayers
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants dollars
God wants cents
God wants pounds shillings and pence
God wants guilders
God wants kroner
God wants Swiss francs
God wants French francs
Oui il veut des francs francais
God wants escudos
God wants pesetas
Don't send lira
God don't want small potatoes
God wants small towns
God wants pain
God wants clean up rock campaigns
God wants widows
God wants solution
God wants TV
God wants contributions
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants silver
God wants gold
God wants his secret
Never to be told
God wants gigolos
God wants giraffes
God wants politics
God wants a good laugh
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants friendship
God wants fame
God wants credit
God wants blame
God wants poverty
God wants wealth
God wants insurance
God wants to cover himself
What God wants God gets God help us all |

I smell Roger Waters!
This song makes for an interesting video as well. |

Much better in song of course. Shame, it seems taken
out of context
when you look at just part of an album. I am really huge fan of
concept
albums. |

Funny... God being the supposed PERFECT being he "is" should not WANT anything. |

Exactly. That's why he gave us free will. He doesn't want robots that act like robots just because they ARE robots. He wants free intelligent beings to voluntarily give up their freedom and intelligence and chose to have no choice. |

Well, put this into a word processor and replace every occurrence of the word "god" with with the word "man".
Then read it again. It would be about right. |

By sheer coincidence, God always wants whatever the priests happen to want at any particular time. |

What priests want and God requires may be two entirely different things. The wise person listens to God and obeys. |

If I hear a voice in my head saying, "Hey dude, this is God." then I'm going to go seek psychiatric help unless he shows me something REALLY convincing.
If you believe that priests are there to divulge the will of God (and I think Roman Catholics make a pretty damn good case that that's what you should believe if you believe in the Bible) then the line you draw begins to slip. Same thing for the Mormons and any religion by revelation to the few. |

Excellent way of putting it, kmisho. For all the Christians' blather about "free will," it is obvious from reading the Bible that they are wrong. God does not like human free will. He does not want us to exercise OUR will, he wants us to do HIS will, like good little obedient herd animals. Why else would Jesus refer to his followers as "sheep" all the time? Not because he valued their own, self-determined will to do whatever they wanted, but because he wanted them to abandon all sense of self-will and unthinkingly obey him, like sheep following the shepherd. If Jesus had lived in modern times instead of back then, he might have used the word "robot" instead of "sheep," since that drives home the point even better. Don't think, don't question, don't wonder why, just obey. |
