My God
 

I came
from another planet

I came
from another planet

And I see people
believing people
crying people
lying people
stealing people
killing people

Talkin 'bout God!

    My god is a Fiery Hierophant
    a six-armed Tyrant
    that's right!  a Blue Elephant
    
    I don't understand...
    
I came
From another planet
I hear people, sayin


    My god lives on Olympus the mountain
    Throws bolts of lightning, drinks from the fountain
    Of youth
    Three wives, two children, one from his head
    Which he split wide open when he got out of bed
    Gave birth to Athena, god of the mind,
    A chick so smart, leaves your patriarch behind
    With his dusty old bible, Torah and Koran
    Thus spake zarathustra, with a wave of his hand

    I don't understand...

I came
From another planet

Zarathustra
Zarathustra

    They renamed him Jesus, gave him a beard
    He said he was love, but now he is feared
    With the words Jesus said and the book that men wrote
    You picked up a sword
    you smited and smote
    
    My god is a vengeful god
    a crown of fire
    a crown of thorns
    a son of man 
    whom men have scorned

My god, my god, my very own god!
   created the the world, but lives up inside of me
My god is my personal savior, 
   lives in my mind but changes reality
  
   I don't understand...

I came
from another planet

I came
from another planet

a planet of love
I came
from another planet

Take me home
I came
from another planet
