Despair, emptiness
See the hatred wasted on yourself
Face down taste the dust; it's getting harder everyday
Just to find a reason not to end it all yourself
Suicide on the street
Everywhere around you watch it breed
It begins to bury you in self-induced rejection
So now you're wasted, broken down
I see through your ignorance
Penetrate the surface of your insecure inside
Next fix, shoot it up
Looking for the place where god speaks
Every time you find him he just stabs you in the back
again
No one hears you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you
Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain
Of all your suffering
This is where the world of money changes nothing
Just a statistic in the shadows of the real world
The system's failing you just the way it failed me
Hell is home on the concrete where the city bleeds
America - home of the free - land of fucking
disenchantment
Despair, emptiness
Isolation rapes you everyday
Face down taste the dust, digging deeper in your grave
Haven't found a reason
Haven't found a thing to fucking live for
Godless he doesn't care
How you choose to destroy yourself
In a world that feeds on hate
You're left here just to waste away
In your cardboard prison, asphalt wasteland
No one hears you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you
No one sees you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you
Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain
Of all your suffering

I think the whole "God Hates Us All" album shows how Slayer has matured and evolved. I'm sure they don't want to be remembered just as the guys who wrote songs about The Holocaust and Satan.
God Hates Us All can be summed up in one word: disillusionment.
well....i can assume it pertains to a drug-user/junky/homeless person.....who thinks he's screwed over from the world... I hate lyrics like this......slayer lyrics were so much better when they did the doom/hell/violence stuff.
are you still bitching?do you not have anything better to do than to condemn the lyric's of others?in case you havent noticed asshole,they still write about the "doom/hell/violence stuff" to this very day.besides, what would you prefer,Modern-Day Metallica??!!!!!!!
I too think this album is a great evolvement of slayer. The lyrics have remained as dark as they were before but now they can be applied to everyday life, which possibly makes them even stronger.
ixequilibriustum i dont see how you can critisise the new lyrics and style. I think Slayer have thoroughly been through the lyrics of hell and satan, this could have led to this album being uncreative and overdone. This did not happen and resulted in a great orignal album.
If you want a sell out band with uninspiring lyrics then stick to Metallica, but dont be so ridiculous as to make a stupid, unjustified comment on a slayer forum.
Hmm... I don't care much for the meanings of this song. In fact, I think it's the worst on the album, but still, for Slayer, it is amazing haha.
i would say this one is about a someone cristicizing the life of a drug addict, he sees that the addict is on the verge of suicide, and takes pleasure in the fact that the addict is destroying himself and is just waiting for the day that he dies so that it will be one less black mark on the human race
Seems to me that this person that the lyrics talk about thinks that God will help him and free him from misery, but obviously, that won't happen.
Of course, because you can't play God, he doesn't bail you out so you can go right back into the same shit hole, only deeper this time. If you had a druggie friend and bailed him out of jail once. then twice, then thrice, and he keeps going to you, you bet you're ass you'd be pissed.

whatever, i love this song. great lyrics. i always thought it was about a homeless person.
an angel got sent to earth and is living the life of a junky. another way slayer is trying to show gods irony and sense of humor.
What? O_o
