I think God plays with us

He turn us around, he makes us spin

He sends us after our tails

We all chase our tails

God makes us want something

Then makes us hate it

He makes us fear the storm, the cold touch of rain

But then why do we depend on rain

He makes us like drink

But drink can kill you

He makes us like smokes

But smokes will end you

Lead me not to temptation

But why do things tempt me

Is it the Devil's doing

Is it his fingers in the earth again

Deliver me from evil

But how can there be evil

If God is our God

And he says evil ain't good

Why did he let it happen

Why did he grow the tree

Why did he say the tree

Held knowledge

When all

it held

was

pain

Why did he let the whisperer

Into the garden

Why did he

Make us go out

And if he knows it all

Then why did he trust us

To not eat from the tree

To not be tempted

He should've known

He should've figured it out

We should've known

We shouldn't've eaten it

But we did

And so if we are made in God's image

And we are made by God

Then why did we sin

And if God made it all

And if God is our God

Then why is there temptation

And why can it tempt us

And if temptation is a test

Then we failed

But if your children fail

Why would you disown them

Is it to teach them a lesson

Too many lessons

And the garden is sweet

But the desert is hot

God plays with us

He really does

We chase temptation

It never ends

And even those

Who say they know God

Are those

That are tempted

                                          too

And they cave

To temptation

They worship Mammon

Just as we do

Don't blame me

But don't lie to me

Jakes is the one

With 147 million dollars

The Bible says

Keep your lives free

From the love of money

Be content

But this year

Jakes is richer than last year

Was he not content

Why was he not content

Some people beg

'Take me back

To the garden'

But why

The garden is still, boring

Give me life

This life

And the trouble of it

Heaven doesn't move

My world moves

Your world moves

Our world does

God plays with us

He's having fun with us

We chase our tails

We, all of us, chase our tails
