From God's Perspective Lyrics - Singles - Bo Burnham

"There's things I don't want to be misconstrued in my act that I feel often are. I don't want you leaving my show thinking that I think I know better than people or that I, I think I'm better than people in general. Um, okay, I just wanted to put that out there. Uh, this is a song from the perspective of God." 

The books you think I wrote 

Are way too thick 

Who needs a thousand metaphors to 

Figure out you shouldn't be a dick 

And I don't watch you 

When you sleep 

Surprisingly I don't use my omnipotence 

To be a fucking creep 

You're not going to heaven 

Why the fuck do you think 

I'd ever kick it 

With you 

None of you are 

Going to heaven 

There's a trillion aliens 

Cooler than you 

You shouldn't abstain from rape 

Just 'cause you think that I want you, to 

You shouldn't rape 

'Cause rape is a fucked up thing to do 

"Pretty obvious just don't fucking rape people, please. Didn't think I'd have to write that one down for 'ya." 

I don't think masturbation 

Is obscene 

It's absolutely natural 

And the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen 

You make my job 

A living hell 

I sent gays to fix overpopulation 

And, boy, did that go well 

You're not going 

To heaven 

Eat a thousand crackers 

Sing a million hymns 

None of you are 

Going to heaven 

You're not my children 

You're a bad game of Sims 

You shouldn't abstain from pork 

Just 'cause you think that I want you, to 

You can eat pork 

"'Cause why the fuck would I give a shit?" 

"I created the universe, think I'm drawing the line at the fucking deli aisle?" 

You argue and you bicker 

And you fight 

Atheists and Catholics 

Jews and Hindus argue day and night 

Over what they think is 

True 

But no one entertains the thought that 

Maybe God does not believe in you 

You pray so badly for heaven 

Knowing any day might be the day that you die 

But maybe life on Earth could be heaven 

Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try 

My love's the type of thing 

That you have to earn 

And when you earn it 

You won't need it 

My love's the type of thing 

That you have to earn 

And when you earn it 

You won't need it 

I'm not gonna give you love 

Just 'cause I know that you want me, to 

If you want love 

Then the love has gotta come from you.
