From God's Perspective Lyrics
Books you think I wrote are way too thick
Who needs a thousand metaphors to
figure out you shouldn't be a dick
And I don't watch you when you sleep
Surprisingly I don't use my omnipotence
to be a fucking creep
You're not going to Heaven
Why the fuck would you think I'd ever kick it with you?
None of you are going to Heaven
There's a trillion aliens cooler than you
You shouldn't abstain from rape
just 'cause you think that I want you to
You shouldn't rape
'cause rape is a fucked up thing to do
Pretty obvious, just don't fuckin' rape people!
Do you think I have to write that one down for you?
I don't think masturbation is obscene
It's absolutely natural
and the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen
You make my job a living hell
I send gays to fix overpopulation
Boy did that go well
You're not going to Heaven
Eat a thousand crackers, sing a million hymns
None of you are going to Heaven
You're not my children, you're a bad game of Sims
You shouldn't abstain from pork
just 'cause you think that I want you to
You can eat pork
'cause why the fuck would I give a shit?
I created the universe, you think I'm drawing the line at the fuckin' deli aisle?
You argue and you bicker and you fight
Atheists and Cathloics
Jews and Hindus argue day and night
Over what they think is true
But no one entertains the thought that
maybe God does not believe in you
You pray so badly for Heaven
Knowing any day might be the day that you die
But maybe life on Earth could be Heaven
Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try?
My love's the type of thing that you have to earn
and when you earn it, you won't need it
My love's the type of thing that you have to earn
and when you earn it, you won't need it
Not gonna give you love
just 'cause I know that you want me to
If you want love
then the love has gotta come from you
Who needs a thousand metaphors to
figure out you shouldn't be a dick
Surprisingly I don't use my omnipotence
to be a fucking creep
Why the fuck would you think I'd ever kick it with you?
None of you are going to Heaven
There's a trillion aliens cooler than you
just 'cause you think that I want you to
You shouldn't rape
'cause rape is a fucked up thing to do
Do you think I have to write that one down for you?
It's absolutely natural
and the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen
I send gays to fix overpopulation
Boy did that go well
Eat a thousand crackers, sing a million hymns
None of you are going to Heaven
You're not my children, you're a bad game of Sims
just 'cause you think that I want you to
You can eat pork
'cause why the fuck would I give a shit?
Atheists and Cathloics
Jews and Hindus argue day and night
But no one entertains the thought that
maybe God does not believe in you
Knowing any day might be the day that you die
But maybe life on Earth could be Heaven
Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try?
and when you earn it, you won't need it
My love's the type of thing that you have to earn
and when you earn it, you won't need it
just 'cause I know that you want me to
If you want love
then the love has gotta come from you

IF god existed, it would agree with this.
I think when people talk about Bo Burnham's best work this one is almost never brought up and i find that baffling because this is probably the sweetest thing Bo Burnham has ever written. ¨ If you want love the love has gotta come from you ¨ is a piece of advice i use literally everyday, I find especially now we forget to love the people around us and that makes us incredibly lonely. Love the people around you because if you can't love others how could others love you? A God who teaches us to love others wouldn't want us to hate the people different from us. ¨ Maybe life on earth could be heaven, doesn't just the thought make it worth a try? ¨
