[Intro]
Innocent folks
Innocent folks

[Verse 1: Violent J]
Innocent folks, wrong place at the wrong time
Doing bids or drawn in a chalk line
Little kids crossing the bridge too young
Some tortured before they come (Damn)
Evil is here, the boogie man too
You don't own a gun? Man, you should plan to
Am I looking at shit negatively?
Crib death mom ain't got shit left
How the fuck is shit fair out here?
Homeless family froze on the stairs
Where's God? Bumping his iPod?
It's odd, I'll be the lightning rod
I wanna know

[Chorus]
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God?
Where's God when shit goes down? (I wanna know)
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God?
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right)
[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
Are we all be tested? Fail me then
So much fucked up shit, where to begin?
Some kids are born with a silver spoon
Others born with a needle in a world of doom
Little girl, found duct taped and raped
And the killer escaped? God, give me a break
I want to keep believing, but it's a struggle
Let Jake and Jack Jeckel juggle
Drunk drivers killing Iraq survivors
He can't interfere, then why's He here?
After years of feeling like nobody cares
Most of us switch gears on Him, cheers!

[Chorus]
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God?
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right) (Cheers!)
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God?
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right)

[Verse 3: Violent J]
Church on fire, everybody dies
As a preacher explains it, I roll my eyes
This game tryin' to make sense of madness
For a ray of hope in a world of sadness
I get it, we all need hope to cope
But collection plate money goes to dope
I cling by a finger, and I'll admit it
Most of it is bullshit, and I don't get it
If He was up there chillin', lettin' this happen
Doin' nothin', He'd be in need of a slappin'
But we're all clueless to how it works
There are no experts, and that's what hurts
[Chorus]
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God? (We need Him here)
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right) (Hurts)
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God? (We need Him here)
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right)

[Pastor or priest talking]
There's not an individual who has ever confessed Christ
Who has not at one time or another said the wrong thing
Thought the wrong thing, done the wrong thing
And I don't care how saved you are!

[Chorus]
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God? (We need Him here)
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right)
Where's God? (We don't know that)
Where's God? (We need Him here)
Where's God when shit goes down? (It ain't right) (Hurts)

[Outro]
(We don't know that)
I still believe
(It ain't right)
(We don't know that)
We need Him here
(It ain't right)
[Segue: Violent J]
Those wise enough, smart enough, and yes, fortunate enough
To avoid the Mighty Death Pop
Will be rewarded with a longer, much more fulfilling, personal
Forever
