[Intro: Backup singer]
What God wants, God gets, God help us all

[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale-blue Japanese guitar
The priest said:
“God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight”

[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Bridge 1: Roger Waters]
“Don't look so surprised, It's only dogma”
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the Bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book
[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gеts
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
God wants peacе
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stores

[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants Semtex

[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Bridge 2: Roger Waters]
“Don't look so afraid, I'm only joking”
The alien comic lied
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down in his book
[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Verse 4: Roger Waters]
God wants borders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks

[Chorus: Backup singers]
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

[Verse 5: Roger Waters]
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organized crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good (God)
God wants bad (Gets)
[Outro: Backup singers]
(What God wants, God gets)
(What God wants, God gets)
(What God wants, God gets)
