Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions."
lyrics
Sometimes I Wonder about The Creator of the Universe
As cruel as Heliogabalus
He’ll light the fire to hear us scream
He won’t explain doodleysquat to us
But wants telegraphic messages on everything.
It’s not anything they teach you in church.
Sometimes I wonder about the creator of the universe.
Prostitutes surrender
To their pimps like
They’re surrendering to Jesus
While beautifying their insides
With bad chemicals causing suicide, theft, murder, insanity or worse.
Sometimes I wonder about the creator of the Universe.
Production is breaking
The earth before it can recharge.
And the things that we’re making
are lousy by and large --
washday products, cat food and pop.
Sometimes I wonder when will it all stop
Destructive testing to see
how much we can take.
He ignores our protesting and he
Sets out to make us break.
He’s slightly insane and a little perverse.
Sometimes I wonder about the creator of the universe.
Someplace where you’d need
A rubber vagina for lonesomeness
Ain’t any place to be
But there doesn’t seem much choice for us.
It’s not very fair and a little absurd
Sometimes I wonder about the creator of the universe.
I don’t know what it means
all this suffering collectively.
We could be all machines
Set to love defectively.
There ain’t no good answer; that’s just how it works.
Sometimes I wonder about the creator of the universe.
