Bright Eyes – When The President Talks To God lyrics

When the President talks to God,
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's rights,
and send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
when the President talks to God?
When the President talks to God,
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind,
When the President talks to God?
When the President talks to God,
Does he fake that drawal or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which vote or fraud must be concealed,
When the President talks to God?
When the President talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop.
"We should find some jobs - the ghetto's broke"
"No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't.
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke"
That's what God recommends.
When the President talks to God
does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
as he kneels next to the presidential bed?
Does he ever smell his own bull shit
When the president talks to God?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
