See this gun held in my hand?
Notice me, for yesterday I was nobody
Today I’m God!
Today I have power over life and death
Today I can bring you sorrow or joy
For you, him or her
I’ve got a job but I hate it
I’m at the bottom of the ladder
Do this, do that, make the tea, tidy up…
Today I think my boss would clean my desk
For today I hold a gun
I had a girlfriend, yesterday
Beautiful she was, I love her
Yesterday she left me for another
His car is swankier, he has more money
But I have more than that, today
Today I have a gun, his life is in my hands
Do you think she’ll take me back?
See that man?
Standing by the trees?
The one with the flashy cellphone
Smiling, laughing, happy
He’s got nothing now, I've shot him
Dead
I’m his God
She’s smiling, she’s dead, this is power
I’m somebody at last
I’m God
That’s me they’re talking about on the radio
I’m famous
I wasn’t famous yesterday
I don’t like his shoes, DEAD
Don’t be scared of me, don’t run away
I won’t hurt you, DEAD
Everyone leaves me…
Look at that tramp, poor sod
He’d be better off dead, DEAD
You, DEAD
You, DEAD
You, DEAD
SEE ME, notice me, I AM GOD
You, DEAD
You, policeman with your own gun
You can’t kill me
You are not my Pontius,
You are not my betrayer
You can’t kill me
Maybe my body, sure
But not my soul, not what I stand for
I am THE martyr, GOD
You, DEAD
Today
I’m God
