Him – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Would you please take me away from this place?

I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces

And if there is some kind of god

Do you think he's pleased when he looks down on us?

I wonder what he sees

Do you think he'd think the things we do are a waste of time?

Maybe he'd think that we are getting on just fine

Do you think he's skint or financially secure?

And come election time I wonder who he'd vote for

Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name

Long before that September, long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will, he can't decide

He doesn't know who's right or wrong

But there's one thing that he's sure of

This has been going on too long (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

Do you think he'd drive in his car without insurance?

Now is he interesting or do you think he'd bore us?

Do you think his favourite type of human is caucasian?

Do you reckon he's ever been done for tax evasion?

Do you think he's any good at remembering people's names?

Do you think he's ever taken smack or cocaine?

I don't imagine he's ever been suicidal

His favourite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival

Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name

Long before that September, long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will he can't decide

He doesn't know who's right or wrong

But there's one thing that he's sure of

This has been going on too long

Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name

Long before that September, long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will, he can't decide

He doesn't know who's right or wrong

But there's one thing that he's sure of

This has been going on too long
