“It’s about an elite squad of assassins whose sole assignment is to find a way into heaven and take out God. If the Deity actually existed, what sane person wouldn’t consider this to be justifiable homicide?” – Donald Fagen
[Verse 1]
In the beginning
We could hang with the dude
But it's been too much of nothing
Of that stank attitude
And now they curse your name
And there's a bounty on your face
[Refrain]
It's your own fault daddy
Godwhacker's on the case
[Verse 2]
We track your almighty ass
Through seven heaven worlds
Me, Slinky Redfoot
And our trusty angel-girls
And when the stars bleed out
That be the fever of the chase
[Refrain]
You better get gone poppie
Godwhacker's on the case
[Bridge]
Be very, very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history
[Verse 3]
Climb up the glacier
Across bridges of light
We sniff you, Big Tiger
In the forest of the night
'Cause there's no escape
From the Rajahs of Erase
[Refrain]
Better run run run (Run run run run)
Godwhacker's on the case
[Synthesizer Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Be very, very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history
[Verse 4]
Yes, we are the Godwhackers
Who rip and chop and slice
For crimes beyond imagining
It's time to pay the price
You better step back son
Give the man some whacking space
[Refrain]
You know this might get messy (Run run run run)
