Lyrics
Dear god do you want to tear your knuckles down And hold yourself Dear god can you climb off that tree Meat into the shape of a 'T' Dear god the paper says you were the King In the black limousine Dear John and all the King's men Can't put your head together again Before the bullets Before the flies Before authorities take out my eyes The only smiling are you dolls that I made But you are plastic and so are your brains Dear god the sky is as blue As a gunshot wound Dear god if you were alive You know we'd kill you Before the bullets Before the flies Before authorities take out my eyes The only smiling are you dolls that I made But you are plastic and so are your brains
Trivia
- A raw instrumental version of the track was used in the "Autopsy" video that was used to promote Holy Wood. The video is available as an easter egg on the Lest We Forget (The Best of) bonus DVD.
- There are only two live shows where the band performed "GodEatGod": 2000/11/14 New York City, NY and 2001/02/06 Bologne, Italy.
