Him Lyrics
Would you please take me away from this place
I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces And if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased When he looks down on us I wonder what he sees Do you think he'd think the things we do are a waste of time Maybe he'd think we are getting on just fine Do you think he's skint or financially secure And come election time I wonder who he'd vote for Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September Long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long Do you think he'd drive in his car without insurance Now is he interesting or do you think he'd bore us Do you think his favourite type of human is caucasian Do you reckon he's ever been done for tax evasion Do you think he's any good at remembering people's names Do you think he's ever taken smack or cocaine I don't imagine he's ever been suicidal His favourite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September Long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September Long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long

i thought her lyrics were quite honest with society.
but her new album is TRASH.
and whats her point with this song?
Its all about dissing God.
sorry, lily, but your a waste of time now.

"Would you please take me away from this place
I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces
And if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased"
its "dissing" human culture, and how those who believe that they are acting in God's name are doing things that a perfect and forgiving being would not want.

i do disagree with alot of lilys ideas though.
but i cant help but love the music.
mixed emotions you could say.

"And if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased
When he looks down on us I wonder what he sees" she is saying what would god think of all the stupid decisions we make.
I personally love the new direction she has gone in.

and she is too dissing God!
"He's lost the will he can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong"
its like shes saying He cant do His job right.

the first verse reminds me of how i am with my religious beliefs; is there really a god? and how could he possibly love us, we're full of sin.
but yeah, this is a great song, it has nothing to do with dissing god. dont be childish and think just because the word "god" is in it, meens that its truly going to be all about him. use your minds.

it's not dissing God, its sympathising with Him and dissing society.
and markiee55, the "He's lost the will he can't decide/He doesn't know who's right or wrong" bit isnt saying he cant do his job, its saying He's so exasperated by the state of the world, and he doesnt know which of His 'children' to back.

I'm wondering if she meant George Bush as God, in the way he's had such a control over the world, and the song could be aboue Lily wondering what he thinks about what he's done...

she says "Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name"
its definitely about god but its not 'dissing' him really
shes just asking what hed be like and how hed react to what we humans do.

I think she says it to point out those who ARE rascist, to ask them if they think God would bother himself with petty things such as rascism.
Of course, that's just what I think.

I love it 'cause she points all the bad things about society today.
I'm not too into god but I love that she brings him up and questions all the people that do bad but believe in god. or God, I think(?) it should be capitalized.

Anyways the song. Love the lyrics. It is about God but the idea of giving him form can make her relate the big questions she has more. Like which one is the right one. Why do bad things happen. Etc.

I think this is a really groundbreaking song, all those who are offended need to get a backbone and move on, Some Christians these days are far too sensitive, they have to wake up to the real world.

do you really think that god's favorite band would be creedance clearwater revival?
and people have been dying in his name
bush sr. did have a war of his own and people died in the bush name
i think the god bit is kinda random

'if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased
When he looks down on us I wonder what he sees
Do you think he'd think the things we do are a waste of time
Maybe he'd think we are getting on just fine'
she's pondering what god thinks.
but i don't get the CCR (Creedence clear water revival reference, i looked them up, but i dont understand what their style has to do with god? is it that rock/pop is frowned upon by strict christians?? is it frowned upon?
but anyway, awesome as song, as usual, birsting with revalance to everything in society today.
like theres always been wars, and death, and bad things happening, like all these wars loosely based on religion but only after
'Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes'
9/11 does anyone start worrying about the people dying in other countries, merely because looking like they care will get them re voted in. and im not just talking bout america

I guess I could see how some could interpret lines of this song as towards George W. Bush, but I really don't think that's it. Honestly, it feels like the same reasons why I am not religious. She's discussing all these hypocrites who use religions that often decry violence and hatred to commit violent and hateful acts. (Murdering Dr. Tiller in his own church would be a pretty recent and prominent example.) As if it somehow makes those acts more justifiable to attach the name of God onto them.
