Another Go

GOD:

They blew it
They blew it
How could they do it?
The end of the world
Can't believe it
Can't conceive it
They could achieve it
The end of the world


Was it pollution
Was it the nuclear bomb
Was it disposable diapers
Was it hitler or lee harvey oswald
Where I went wrong?

What should I do now
Should I give up on mankind
Or find a way to readjust
What just wasn't right all along?

Should I- give it another go?
Could I- give it another go?
If at first I don't succeed
Should I reseed- or let it bleed
I need to- give it another go
Or go back to heaven

How could they play russian roulettе
With the earth after all my blood and swеat
Is this the thanks I get?
The end of the world

After all the beauty I made
I can't believe how far they strayed
And this is how I'm repaid?
The end of the world

Was it religion- capitalism?
Was it the home shopping network?
Was it madonna that was the straw
That blew the camel's fuse?

Can I begin again- out of the rubble-
Something better than what came before
Or should I cut my losses
Toss this world out- like yesterday's news?

Should I- give it another go?
Could I- give it another go?
How can you go back to the drawing board
When you're the lord?
Should I- give it another go-
Or go back to heaven?

Start with the clay- that's the way
You began before
Made a man from primordial slime
Now, use expedience
Choose new ingredients
Like a larger dose of obedience
This time

I've got to- give it another go
One shot to- give it another go
On the seventh day, this time, no lie
No coffee break, no rest, until I
Give it another go
Then go back to heaven

Give it another go
Then go back to heaven
Give it another go
Then go back to heaven

Heaven
Heaven
