[Intro]
What is the truth about rock music?
Music is, perhaps, the most powerful medium in the world
Satan has taken music and he has counterfeited it
Twisted it, exploited it
And now he's using it to hammer, hammer, hammer
A message into the minds and the lifestyles of this generation

[Verse 1]
You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of live before some fall
Behaving like a reptile that comes up walking tall
If God is in his image, the Almighty must be small

[Verse 2]
Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees
After damning me and you to Hell for eternity
Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests
They bribe their way past Heaven's gates and steal a set of keys

[Refrain]
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
[Verse 3]
My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep
While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief
Yesterday he was God, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for relief

[Refrain]
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows

[Interlude]
I damn you all to Hell
I speak in the name of God, I know him intimately
I speak in the name of that white-haired old man in the clouds, always a man
Dispensing lightning justice from his fingertips
As self-righteous and vengeful as those who created him
A cruel desert God with no sense of humour

How do you feel, old man?
How do you feel with these (?) fanatics speaking for you?
Is Heaven full, oh Lord, of these babbling preachers and God-fearing bigots?
Well, I know where I'd rather be
Away from this cacophony
Do you feel abused?
Do you feel abused?
Do you feel abused?

God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
