Lyrics

Never before tonight did I think I could kill a man
And sink a knife deep into skin
But I could kill you
Surely I could wreck you
Because you wrecked them
You rapists, you abusers
You thieves, you murderers
I've taken my look around
And all I've seen leads me to believe
That if I was god
Heaven would be nearly empty
And hell would be overflowing

So thank god that I'm not god
And praise him for being nothing like me
I would have forsaken man
So praise him for being nothing like me
'Cause I would have let this world burn

If I was god, I would do unto you things unthinkable
Far beyond cruel and unusual

So thank god that I'm not god
And praise him for being nothing like me
I would have forsaken man
So praise him for being nothing like me

For those who ask
He gives his grace kindly
His forgiveness is beyond me
I would have let this world burn
And even to the most perverted man
And even to the most wretched man
His glory and mercy is given
