Black Lips — I Saw God lyrics

Lyrics

Man I was sitting around thinking and the smell of mary-j-wuanna leaves was
burning a stench
into the ashtray, which happened to be hood of my car—an old beat-up station
wagon with the
high beams burnt out. Now, as I said I, was thinking… grandma was always
trying to hook me up into going to the big house. She said I’d learn somethin'—somethin' right.
She said you
learn some self respect, boy, you learn you some discipline. You think just
cause you went to school and learned you some readin' and some writing too that you’re gonna be all right? But I never really got with it. I don’t think I ever really understood until one day
my buddy James
came down and he said I got somethin' for ya ands it’s something good and you
can turn on to the father. And I said if its all right for my old man then it’s all right for
me. Why, shit,
if Christopher Columbus might have never really set out to really see somethin',
if he had
never put some balls into it, then shit I might of started to think the world
was flat if it hadn’t been for him, if you now what I’m sayin'. And they gonna come around
like this
motherfucker can fly and shit but we really look like two monkeys fucking a goddamn beach ball
or somethin'. 'Cause all I saw was the cross and it was the cross before it came down
and I said oh my God…
That’s when I saw oh That’s when I it all what
That’s when I saw what
That’s when I saw tell
That’s when I it all hell
That’s when I saw God
That’s when I saw what
That’s when I saw
