2153 |
Well their brains were quite large for their bodies |
And it lulled them into thinking they weren’t dumb |
They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies |
And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs |
And they thought they would be guarantee delivered |
To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard |
So they bought and they fought and they Twittered |
By 2153 they disappeared |
Ah, they waited for their god in vain |
Yeah they waited for their god in vain |
In the last big play of the final game |
They waited for their god in vain |
Oh, they went for the literal translation |
Of every text and symbol sacred work and screed |
They obsessed over minor variations |
Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds |
And they thought that all the others were afflicted |
And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved |
And they thought in the end they’d all be lifted |
Now they’re lying in the beds that they made |
Ah, they waited for their god in vain |
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain |
Standing with their luggage waiting for the transport plane |
They waited for their god in vain |
Ah, they waited for their god in vain |
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain |
When they called out for their god each one used a different name |
They waited for their god in vain |
This is all we can conclude from what’s left of their remains |
They waited for their god in vain |
