God's Great Mistake - Big Country

Not enough answers to too many questions

But guns are the last things we need

So we better watch the news

For we all have minds to feed

For the latest in monsters, a word from our sponsors

I write to the weather map guy

Who doesn’t have much hair

But he’s got a matching tie

Put the cat out and take off the phone

And leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

The problem in the plan

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

We get home if we can

There’s a police car parked outside a schoolyard

Take home the law in the tin

Are they keeping bad guys out

Are they keeping bad guys in

Put the cat out and take off the phone

And leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

The problem in the plan

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

We get home if we can

I believe that democracy is meant to keep us free

I believe that Jesus Christ is who he’s meant to be

I believe a living Elvis will soon appear on my TV

Put the cat out and take off the phone

And leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

The problem in the plan

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

We get home if we can

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

The problem in the plan

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

We get home if we can
