lyrics

I saw god in a limousine
Smoking a big cigar
Then the devil appeared drinking thirty-five year
Speyside from a mason jar
God said driver take us downtown
We got a meeting with Goldman Sachs
Can't have to poor folks of this old world
Thinking they don't have to break their backs

I know you might not believe me
You might not think that it's true
But I've been on this earth long enough
To know when I'm played a fool

I saw god on a subway car
Headed for the upper west side
When he took the boots off a sleeping old man
Who'd just gotten warm for the night
He turned to me, said it ain't about money
Or power or paying your dues
It's all about finishing the race
Without ever losing your shoes

I know you might not believe me
You might not think that it's true
But I've been on this earth long enough
To know when I'm played a fool
