lyrics

Child: “We thank you God, we thank you God…(laughs)...Praise Him God!”
Mother: “Okay, Praise Him, Praise Him. You sing that one, okay? Okay, I’ll sing it with you...”

The days are all warm.
Every person’s always happy.
We kill some. We’d kill you.
But that don’t happen very often.

We drink wine and we eat cake,
And we just take what we can take.
Take our lives. We don’t care.
We got millions more to throw away.

When the leader took control, well, everybody made more money.
Now we have balloons.
Look at our balloons.

People hurt. People die. People hide the things inside.
People kill. People hate. But we don’t care, cuz life is great.

We thank you, God.

The nights are all calm.
Everyone feels satisfaction.
We get shot. And you might too.
But that don’t happen very often.

We eat fine, expensive steaks.
And we take what we can take.
Take our word. You know you can trust us.
We got honesty to guide all of us.

When the leader took control, well, everybody felt so happy.
Now we have balloons.
Look at our balloons.

People hurt. People die. People hide the things inside.
People kill. People hate. But we don’t care, cuz life is great.

We thank you, God.
