Lyrics
God Took The Week Off
God got to thinking people knell down to pray
And pay no attention to the words that they say
Perhaps I could rest for a couple of days
Just go and get myself lost
So he rolled up his robe put on some sneakers and shades
Place a note on his throne I'll be gone a few days
Don't answer the phone or the door or the prayers
God took the week off
Chorus:
Things got bad and things got badder
There was no need to pray so then what did it matter
Know that they'll never see anything sadder
God took the week
Folks that were hungry grew hungrier still
The old and the weak got increasing ill
The mean and hateful continue to kill
A lot of poor souls remained lost
The children inquired then why do we pray
And the folks that you know had little to say
Except heel be back in a couple of days
Because God took the week off
Chorus:
Things got bad and things got badder
There's no need to pray so then what did it matter
Know that they'll never see anything sadder
God took the week
This tale that I told you is not at all true
Hess working so hard and Hess working for you
It just scares me to think of what wed all do
God took the week off
Chorus:
Things would get bad and things would get badder
There'd be no need to pray so then what would it matter
Know that you'd never see anything sadder
If God took the week
