lyrics

I prayed to my God for more hair on my head,
I prayed to my God I had not said what I had said,
I prayed to my God for five more minutes in bed,
But God is a very busy man.

God is a very busy man my son,
God is a very busy man,
One thing that you must try to understand,
Is God is a very busy man.

I prayed to my God for one more slice of cake,
I prayed to my God there's be no more heart ache,
I prayed to my God he'd forgive all my mistakes,
But God is a very busy man.

God is a very busy man my son,
God is a very busy man,
One thing that you must always understand,
Is God is a very busy man.

I prayed to my God for World Peace,
Or an end to poverty at the very least,
I prayed to my God - I implored, I beseeched,
But God is a very busy man.

Now I'm an Atheist I don't prayer any more,
Although now and them I still can here the Devil at my door,
But he gets real quiet if I just drink a little more,
Cus God is a very busy man.

God is a very busy man my son,
God is a very busy man,
One thing that you must always try to understand,
Is God is a very busy man,
Yeah God is a very busy man,
Yeah God is a very busy man.
