God Snaps His Fingers Lyrics - How I Learned To Love The Bomb - Television Personalities

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
