God Snaps His Fingers

They found Joe lying on his bed

Hammer blows rained to his head

Pyjama jacket on the back of a chair

And an empty bottle of pills by Kenneth's side

No one cried

And we don't care and we're so young

For us our lives have just begun

But it makes me feel so sick inside

When a young man's only dream is a place in heaven

Then God snaps his fingers again

And you come running to him

All I have is all I need

My hopes, my dreams, ambitions

I wouldn't question your beliefs

But I don't want religion

And if every thing that happens is God's will

I can't accept it

But I might feel different when I've lived my life

But for now I must reject it

And they say that the good die young

Then God snaps his fingers again

And you come running to him

And if I said my prayers would the fighting stop

Would the killing cease, will it ever?

And I can't say much for the biggest priest

When a prince and the Pope can't even say a prayer together

Could they ever?

And they say that the good die young
