  • If there's a God
    Do you think he's looking down, curled up on his couch right now?
    As we fail to figure it out, does he turn down the sound?
    Is he proud? Are we proud?
    Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter
    Making boring people famous
    Let's pretend they're fascinating
    Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
    Or that pigment or religion really matters

    We're in some trouble
    Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
    At least the bubble that we've created could make for some good TV

    Oh Mr. Man upstairs
    I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
    Would you care to answer my question?
    Oh, the land of our taste
    The spectacle of cut and paste
    That we've made
    Would you say? Please say
    It was worth the seven days

    Does he hang his head at all the greed that we possess?
    As the anti-social media perpetuates the mess
    Maybe it's a test, maybe he's upset by the loose and stress
    Like the rest of us, it happens to the best of us
    God, or is it Mr. G to me?
    I hope that through the static you show what's the clarity
    'Cause it's hard to find the silver lining in the bittersweet
    Wonder if you're praying for us 'fore you go to sleep
    Do you sleep in peace?

    'Cause we're in some trouble
    Mr. Maker, but don't turn away from your screen
    At least the bubble that we've created has made for damn good TV

    Oh, Mr. Man upstairs
    I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
    Would you care to answer my question?
    Oh, the land of our taste
    The spectacle of cut and paste
    That we've made
    Would you say? Please say
    It was worth the seven days

    Don't touch the remote
    It'll be back in a moment
    We are not hopeless
    We are just coping
    The mayhem is rolling
    But it ain't showbiz
    Reality's potent
    Chaotic, I know it
    But we're growing
    Have some hope in us
    And were we worth all the time you gave us?

    Oh, Mr. Man upstairs
    I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
    Would you care to answer my question?
    Oh, the land of our taste
    The spectacle of cut and paste
    That we've made
    Would you say? Please say
    It was worth the seven days, yeah, whoa oh oh whoa oh Writer/s: Alessia Caracciolo, Andrew Wansel, Warren Felder
