Hey God Lyrics

Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: These Days

Hey God, I'm just a little man
I got a wife and family
I almost lost my house
I bought into the dream
We're barely holdin' on and I'm in way too deep
We're two paychecks away from livin' out on the street

She's a workin' single mom
Like a saint she don't complain
She never says a word but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted
He blew some cop away
She did her best to raise him but the world got in the way

Hey God
Tell me what the hell is goin' on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on gettin' harder hangin' on
But hey hey hey hey God
There's nights you know I wanna scream
These days you're even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But hey hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto - 1991
Just a happy child playin' beneath the summer sun
A vacant lot's his playground
By 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him
Junior don't make 21

Hey God
Tell me what the hell is goin' on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on gettin' harder hangin' on
But hey hey hey hey God
There's nights you know I wanna scream
These days you're even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But hey hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me

I get down on my knees
I'm gonna try this thing your way
I seen a dyin' man to proud to beg
Spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save
Or did you even know his name
Are you the one to blame
I got something to say

Hey God
Tell me what the hell is goin' on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on gettin' harder hangin' on
But hey hey hey hey God
There's nights you know I wanna scream
These days you're even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But hey hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me

Do you ever think about me

Bon Jovi went to my high school. Some of me closest friends were in his first band, or rather, he was in theirs. These lyrics are those writen by someone who is very sick. It's amaaing to me that he's gotten so rich singing such material. It must be a reflection of our times; that so many of his listeners are also very sick.

Well Jack, if you were a Bon Jovi fan, you'd know he wrote this album in a dark time of our lives and he was commenting on the way our president didn't do crap for our country and the state our country was in at the time. But maybe you don't have any education past HIGH SCHOOL to understand the lyrics metaphorically! Maybe you should go back to school!
FYI, many people question God's existance and wonder if God exists, how can he allow such evil in our lives...but again, I suppose you don't have the ability to think philisophically. Maybe something tragic needs to happen to you to ask the "why me" question. For your sake, I hope you don't!
