I believe it has an origin in Nileism “god is dead” philosophy , or maybe a resentment of religious teachings from childhood – Su Morrello
[Verse 1]
I’ve seen God twice, twice in my life
Once when I was little, and once the other night
When I was little, he counted cars
The other night I watched him turn into the stars
[Chorus]
And I don’t really wanna sit and talk about the government
All I wanna do is find the lord
But everybody knows he’s dead
And I can’t get it outta my head
That when I was young he counted cars
[Verse 2]
One of our girls turned up last night
They found her body, but not her eyes
Somebody new must’ve gone bad
Where’s the lord to take care of that?
Where’s the lord to take care of that?
[Chorus]
And I don’t really wanna sit and talk about the government
All I wanna do is find the lord
But everybody knows he’s dead
And I can’t get it outta my head
That when I was young, he counted cars
And then we fuckin’ lost him to the stars
