lyrics
When you're talking about the president, you're talking about the White House resident, that thinks that he is heaven sent, he might be.
Except that it ain't like you see, he ain't no great hope spiritually, God sent sent him on a quest to extract a fee karmically.
And just like Hitler stopped the UK and curtailed their imperialist ways God sent this turd to the USA maybe.
He'll dance and prance and mumble loud and rile the fools up in the crowd and all the genocide that you are proud... fini!
He'll bring the country to it's knees.
You better pray, you better pray, you better pray that there is no God.
All you Christians better pray, better pray, better pray that there is no God.
Prior to this administration if I reviewed the situation I had no problem with the Christian nation you see.
I might have thought 'to each his own', I might have thought 'what's etched in stone, do your thing, leave me alone, agree'?
But after money it's a brutal fact it's religion causing folks to act in violent ways and hostile pacts you see?
And if there's a God you better fear on all the judgements you hold dear, you're bound for hell to burn severe eternally.
All you Christians better pray, better pray, better pray that there is no God.
God used locusts, he used floods, he used frogs, he spilled blood, buried nations in fields of mud biblically.
Satan laughs as they place the pawn, and the ripples spread as the evils spawned, and it's met with silence and a yawn tragically.
But if there's a hell you better get, Evangelicals when the fires met, your burning flesh your tears will wet futilely,
And I know the nightmares you perceive and hence the punishments you'll receive and I thank the heavens I don't believe religiously.
You better pray, you better pray, you better pray that there is no God.
All you Christians better pray, you better pray, you better pray that there is no God.

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
