Don't pretend to be anything
But an American boy who drives Japanese toys
Making noise with the boys on Saturday night

And down on the corner of Olive and Queens
We talk about things that we've never seen
Like the Sistine, and the heart of Spain and God
We all want to see God

Right now, we all want to see God
Right now, right now, right now

Get into the car
And shut the door
These twenty-two years will be twenty-two more
And after that, we'll rest at last, but not now

No, We'll keep driving 'till the sun goes down
And the sea explodes into the evening hours
And we'll sing that we've done something good
To the trumpets of Hollywood

(We all, we are)
Right now, we all want to see God
(We all, we are)
Right now, right now, right now
Oh, we
(We all, we are)
We all want to see God
(We all, we are)
Right now, right now, right now

We, we will have the last laugh as we step on the gas
And only heaven knows, heaven knows where we'll go
And only heaven knows what we don't

We will have the last laugh as we step on the gas
And only heaven knows, heaven knows where we'll go

(We all, we are)
Right now, we all want to see God
(We all, we are)
Right now, right now, right now
Oh, we
(We all, we are)
We all want to see God
(We all, we are)
Right now, right now, right now

    This a song about living to the fullest extent, being kids and wanting to see the world. I love just jumping in a car with friends and seeing where the day takes you. That is what being young is all about, that is real adventure.
