He said that God will provide it
this feeling of abundance
of peace
He said that God will demand it
this commitment to
society's release
He said that the bandits will hand it
over, this treasure that they stole
when you became convinced
salvation was in rock and roll
He said that God will revise it
this edited Bible of verse
when spoken from the pulpits
of voices tense and terse
He said that God will reverse it
this pain and this woe
and like a child and a lamb
together you will go
but I know
he just wants guitars
hanging on the walls
raining from the skies
painted on the trees
tiger palms beckoning
