What If God Wasn't One of Us?

What if God was a computer with scary power surges,
And we could only point and click, 'cause we couldn't pray in churches.
So if we had some questions from where faith with life converges,
The only way we could find answers would be through some Google searches.

Maybe you could learn how, if you saw a demonstration,
And if you had a knack for that, and through experimentation.
But when you thought you'd found some truth, or even some salvation,
The program would shut down 'cause you performed an illegal operation.

What if God wasn't one of us?
What if God was hidden or somehow anonymous?
Does it make you even a little curious?
What if God wasn't one of us?

What if God was really from another distant planet,
But the spaceship crashed here, it was impossible to land it.
And God spoke some strange language; we could never understand it;
And God's head was really big, and the eyes were gray like granite.

We could feed it Reese's Pieces, and try to make it known
That we want to be God's friends, it doesn't have to feel alone.
Then someday God might speak in a shaky monotone,
But the only thing that God would say is "Phone home."

What if God wasn't one of us?
What if God was hostile or somehow dangerous?
What if everything you've learned is somehow erroneous?
What if God wasn't one of us?

What if God ignored us, but loved some other species,
And we had to be their slaves, washing windows with our squeegees?
We'd walk their kids to school, carrying their peechees,
And we'd have to live in caves, reading books by Neitzsche.

What if our masters told us that they were predestined;
That they were God's chosen ones, and we were just possessions?
And then they'd have the nerve to even start suggestin'
Roddy McDowall is going to heaven, but not Charlton Heston.

What if God wasn't one of us?
What if our existence was that meaningless?
Would it make you sad or simply furious?
What if God...
What if God wasn't one of us?
Can you imagine something so preposterous?
What if you had no one else that you could trust?
What if God wasn't one of us?
