Oklahoma City

Betty was a blonde blue eyed baby

Who marked her first birthday on easter morning

but her parents had other reasons to celebrate that day

Betty had just learnt to walk by herself

and her mother's got a new job just downtown

cross from the Phillip P. Murrah in an office tower

But they don't like to see the children play

they don't like the government so what have they done

all the toys are covered in blood

a little fire truck is broken

Well I guess that they think it'd be better

to reign down in hell

than to serve up in heaven

well the devil's got a seat next to him

Oh Timmy, he's waiting

Where was god?

and don't you tell us how he works in mysterious ways?

for when all is lost we're tired

of hearing that line

Where was god?

and do you think that she'll find the faith that she needs?

for when all is lost and gone... and gone...

well they don't like to see the children play

they don't like the government so what have they done

all the toys are covered in blood

a little fire truck is broken... is broken...

where was god?

they don't like to see the children play

don't you tell us how he works in mysterious ways

they don't like the government so what have they done

for when all is lost and gone... and gone...

But at least we have our thoughts to remember

the pictures of you, we treasured a few

never forget that god bless the people... of Oklahoma City

never forget that god bless the people... of Oklahoma City

never forget that god bless the children... of Oklahoma City
