God's Great Mistake Lyrics - Why The Long Face - Big Country

Not enough answers to too many questions 

But guns are the last things we need 

So we better watch the news 

For we all have minds to feed 

For the latest in monsters, a word from our sponsors 

I write to the weather map guy 

Who doesn't have much hair 

But he's got a matching tie 

Put the cat out and take off the phone 

And leave a light on for the last one home 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

The problem in the plan 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

We get home if we can 

There's a police car parked outside a schoolyard 

Take home the law in a tin 

Are they keeping bad guys out 

Are they keeping bad guys in 

Put the cat out and take off the phone 

And leave a light on for the last one home 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

The problem in the plan 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

We get home if we can 

I believe that democracy is meant to keep us free 

I believe that Jesus Christ is who he's meant to be 

I believe a living Elvis will soon appear on my TV 

Put the cat out and take off the phone 

And leave a light on for the last one home 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

The problem in the plan 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

We get home if we can 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

The problem in the plan 

We're all a part of God's great mistake 

We get home if we can
