Lyrics:
If you were an angel
Would you do as you’re told
Would you wander around sending messages of God to young an old
Are you an old man on the boat
On the river
With weed to deliver to the folks coming down
Do you heal the livers of the Berlin clubbers as they sleep
Would you reveal the secrets they keep
To release them from their shame as they shiver
Do you know my name
Did he whisper to you
On the day that I was born and say
Hey
He’s gonna be a giver one day
So you better make him pay his dues
There’s gotta be a way to confuse
The giving and receiving
Do you believe that ’m in pain
Is it old news
Did the Jews of Europe see it coming
Did you think to let them know
Did you bury your head in the pillow when it came
Do you blame
The fuhrer or his fury or the glory game
Did you write the story or watch it unfold
If you were an angel would you do as you’re told
Or say fuck you god
Fuck the grand design
Fuck things taking time
Fuck the lucky ones
Fuck the ones you love
Before they die
Make love cause your body’s gonna die one day
Before you have the time to say
I’m sorry that I didn’t like the way
That you look in the mirror
What will it take to get this angel to deliver
When it’s too good to be true
It’s cause you think that you’re not good enough
For an angel to choose you
Remember that the angels not coming at you
It’s coming from you
Coming from you
So simply watch unfold
and do as you’re told
