What If God Was Just Like Us?

This is my own version of what would happen if an agnostic wrote Joan Osborne's - "What If God Was One Of Us" - Well here is my version!- SJ Otto

If God was a lawyer,
Who would he suit,
If God drove a car,
What kind of car would he drive,
And how much gas would he consume,
Who would he cut off on the high-way,
Who would he flip off with road rage,

Yes, yes God is great,
Yea, yea, God is great,

What if God was one of us,
Just a bozo on a buss,
Push his buttons and make him cuss,
As he makes his way home,
And all his flunkies live in Rome,

If God was a soldier,
Who would he kill,
If God were an executioner,
Who would he execute,
If God was a player,
Who would he fuck,

Yes, yes God is great,
Yea, yea, God is great,

What if God was one of us,
Just a bozo on a buss,
Push his buttons and make him cuss,
As he makes his way home,
And all his flunkies live in Rome,

If God owned a factory,
How big would it be,
If God pushed people off of welfare,
How many elections would he win,
If God owned an apartment complex,
How many people would he evict,

Yes, yes God is great,
yea, yea, God is great,

What if God was one of us,
Just a bozo on a buss,
Push his buttons and make him cuss,
As he makes his way home,
And all his flunkies live in Rome,

What if God was one of us,
And he murdered people just like us,
And he raped others just like us,
Would he be as cold as us,
While he takes the evening buss,
Would he be as bad as us?

Joan Osborne - What If God Was One Of Us
