Today we want a god
Who looks the other way
So we can break his laws
Like everything's okay
We don't want to hear
His wrath or reprimand
That our actions bring
When things get out of hand

I don't want a god
With no rhyme or reason
And I don't want a god
Who changes with the seasons
I don't want a god
Influenced by the times
And I don't want a god
Who ignores our crimes

We're living in an era
Where anything can go
Between consenting  adults
As if God doesn't know
There's a price to  pay
Based on our behavior
For living for the moment
At the expense of later

I don't want a god
With no rhyme or reason
And I don't want a god
Who changes with the seasons
I don't want a god
Influenced by the times
And I don't want a god
Who ignores our crimes

God is not old fashion
And he has never been
He knew everything
Before there was a when
He never made a law
That hadn't been thought out
Which has me wondering
What they're talking about

I don't want a god
With no rhyme or reason
And I don't want a god
Who changes with the seasons
I don't want a god
Influenced by the times
And I don't want a god
Who ignores our crimes

There are consequences
For everything we do
Now's no time to act
As if we never knew
Just because our punishment
Often is deferred
Doesn't mean the punishment
Will never occur

I don't want a god
With no rhyme or reason
And I don't want a god
Who changes with the seasons
I don't want a god
Influenced by the times
And I don't want a god
Who ignores our crimes

We're living in an era
Where anything can go
Between consenting  adults
As if God doesn't know
There's a price to  pay
Based on our behavior
For living for the moment
At the expense of later
