Absolute Power
Lyrics

I am not, god manifest

But if I was, I’d never rest

Erase the scum, the human wrecks

And hammer out, injustices

-

AND THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

MY, INTOLERANT EYES

ARE NOT MEANT TO BE DIVINE

THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

I’D COMMIT GENOCIDE

TO PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE

-

I know you’d say, it’s dangerous

To contemplate, a massacre

And how could I, shed so much blood

In a crusade, for something good

-

AND THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

MY, INTOLERANT EYES

ARE NOT MEANT TO BE DIVINE

THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

I’D COMMIT GENOCIDE

TO PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE

-

I know they’d say, that it’s facist

To try and make, a world like this

But it’s not race, nothing ethnic

That generates, my prejudice

-

AND THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

MY, INTOLERANT EYES

ARE NOT MEANT TO BE DIVINE

THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

I’D COMMIT GENOCIDE

TO PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE

-

Here’s what I say - the reprobates

They don’t deserve, to respirate

They steal and rape, murder and hate

Never create, obliterate

-

AND THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

MY, INTOLERANT EYES

ARE NOT MEANT TO BE DIVINE

THAT’S WHY, I, COULD NEVER BE GOD

I’D COMMIT GENOCIDE

TO PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE

Originally this song was going to be a comedy song about what someone could do if they were suddenly made God. But then Bruce Almighty came out (they totally ripped me off ;) and I chose to do something different instead.

What emerged was a set of lyrics that act as a warning, that no one person should be given too much power, since it would be so easy to abuse it.

Even if the chosen person had a moralistic and wholesome attitude - me for instance (if I do say so myself) then there's still room for things to go wrong.

I'm basically saying that even though I personally think it's right to do away with all the tossers in the world, it might not be the definitive right thing to do if you're looking at it from an objective viewpoint.

Besides, I'm not in a position to know everything about everything and therefore my decision to get rid of all the wasters is based on unproven and subjective theories.
