John Mellencamp - Hey God

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1458866
Verse 1
Weapons and guns, are they really my rights?
Laws written a long time ago
No one could imagine the sight
Of so many dead on the floor

Chorus
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?

Verse 2
So what do you really have in mind for us now?
We know that you're not on our side
A few words of wisdom written down
Ain't enough to sustain us anymore

Chorus
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?
We can't take it no more

Verse 3
Some cannot live inside the law
Not much changed here at all
I see the sun's really going down
This is not the Garden of Eden for sure

Chorus
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?
Hey God, if you're still there
Would you please come down?
We can't take it here anymore
We can't take it no more
