A God of limited competence contemplates evolution. His minions speak for Him. Musically, a little Toto, a little ELO...

Reviews:
“Blasphemy! Sacrilege!” (Pope Francis)
“Huh, not sure about this one” (The Taliban)
“Classic Englebert-style chord progressions: a surprising dip into minors and 7th (or something more complicated) after an opening that seems to suggest something altogether more straightforward. Surprises keep coming: a hint of a pizzicato string section, a building up drive that accelerates and then pulls back. Yet, the more superficial listener can also simply stay with the Chicago-style piano and guitar and drums. A song to be experienced on two levels” (Mari Royla)
“very imaginative/creative, great imagery and I like the way the story comes back around to the beginning with the change ... Great production.” (external reviewer)
“I sure hope God has a sense of humor.” (Reverb Nation Crowd Review)

Lyrics
When the fishes, out of the seas
Grew some legs and walked about
And the monkeys down from their trees
Took up yakking clear & loud
When the stuff that he created
By and large emancipated, liberated,
God was not, God was not, God was not amused
When the woman, lovingly carved
From the rib of the old dude
Got in her head that she might have rights
Came up with an attitude
When she said my body’s mine
Independence is not a crime
When from a rib she grew a spine,
God was not, God was not amused
And you know (we know)
You know like I know (we know, we know)
He might have been in over his head
Big Bang
What could go wrong now (we know)?
He only meant to give himself a new planet
And although the road we’re on now
He paved with only the best of intentions
Who hides (we know) in the details now
Between planning and implementation?
God is not the kind of guy
Self-analyzing, mortified
He shrugged & said “this mess ain’t mine
I’ll make another pie in the sky”
He might have added “I’m all alone,
Ain’t got no clue what’s right from wrong,
I make stuff up as I go along,
I am not, I am not your mom”
The crusaders, horses high
Made up a story then made up their minds
They said the Big Guy he wants it like,
He wants it like it was Before you people made him such an ass
And they chased the monkeys up their trees
And the fishes back to sea
They told the woman your body’s mine
They found her guilty of a crime
And then they tried to break her spine
When the place went down the drain
God’s creation a world of pain,
When in his name they went to fight
As if they knew what’s wrong from right
He didn’t even care a bit
Had it with humans, was done, he quit
And all the worship he gave no shit
God was not, God was not aroundmore
