If Theres a God by Ry Cooder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Republicans changed the lock on heaven's door
Keys to the kingdom don't fit no more
The poor working man like me and you
If we ain't got money, we won't get through

[Chorus]
If there's a God
I think He's got to bottle up and go
If there's still a God in heaven
He's got to hit that lonesome road

[Verse 2]
No more Jesus, Mary and Joe
They done passed Heaven Bill 1070
Restricted signs everywhere you go
I think they want to bring back old Jim Crow

[Chorus]
If there's a God
I think He's got to bottle up and go
If there's still a God in heaven
He's got to hit that lonesome road
[Bridge]
Angel Gabriel said it won't be long
Republiklan is getting strong
Heaven folks are feeling bad
Lose everything that we ever had
If you're brown, you can 't hang around
If you black, better step way back
If you're red, I think you're better off dead
If you're poor and white, you just ain't right

[Chorus]
If there's a God
I think He's got to bottle up and go
If there's a God in heaven today
I think He's got to hit that lonesome road

If there's a God
I think He's got to bottle up and go
If there's a God in heaven
Hit that lonesome road

[Outro]
Down by the highway sign
Tryin' to flag a ride
Don't nobody seem to know him no mo'
He don't have a passport
Don't have a driver's license
Insurance
Membership
Five bank accounts
Friends in high places
