XTC-Dear God

"Dear God" is a controversial song by the British band XTC, released in 1986 as a single from their album "Skylarking." Written by vocalist and guitarist Andy Partridge, the song offers a critical perspective on religion and questions the existence of God. Despite facing censorship and radio bans due to its provocative nature, it gained a cult following and became highly influential.

Featuring Partridge's distinct vocals and the band's melodic pop-rock sound, "Dear God" showcases XTC's signature style. Its thought-provoking lyrics and catchy hooks make it a standout track in their discography.

And all the people that you made in your image
And all the people that you made in your image
And if you're up there you'll perceive
And it's the same the whole world 'round
And the Devil too!
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
But all the people that you made in your image
Dear God don't know if you noticed but
Dear God, hope you get the letter and
Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe in
I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you
I don't believe
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
I pray you can make it better down here
I won't believe in heaven or hell
If there's one thing I don't believe in
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
It's you
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
See them fighting in the street
See them starving on their feet
Still believing that junk is true
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
The hurt I see helps to compound
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
You're always letting us humans down
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
