Job
Divine Dilemma: Unraveling God's Ambiguous Desires Through 'Job'
Lyrics
God wants me to be good
God desires my goodness.
God wants me to be bad
God desires my badness.
God wants me to be mad
God desires my madness.
Every night
Every night.
God wants me to break down
God wants me to emotionally collapse.
In your arms
In your arms.
God wants me to be sad
God wants me to feel sadness.
Every night
Every night.
Up from the river comes Job
Job emerges from the river.
Looking drunk and waving a gun
Appearing intoxicated, brandishing a gun.
Sad and sick as a fuck
Depressed and ill.
He´s going to shoot out Lucifer´s tongue
Intending to silence Lucifer.
God wants him to break down
God desires his emotional breakdown.
In his arms
In Lucifer's arms.
God wants him to be sad
God wants him to experience sadness.
Every night
Every night.
Ding-dong she´s at the door
A visitor arrives at the door.
A lollipop, drugs and a toy
Offering a lollipop, drugs, and a toy.
Won´t you please let me be?
Requesting solitude.
Leave me alone
Asking to be left alone.
I´d like to get drunk
Expressing a desire to become intoxicated.
My mind is in a rot
Mind in disarray.
God wants me to play nice
God wants me to behave kindly.
God wants me to think twice
God wants me to reconsider my thoughts.
God wants me to build a church
God wants me to construct a church.
In your thighs.
In your thighs.
God wants me to break down
God wants me to emotionally collapse.
In your arms
In your arms.
God wants me to be sad
God wants me to feel sadness.
Every night
Every night.
God wants me to break down
God wants me to emotionally collapse.
In your arms
In your arms.
God wants me to be sad
God wants me to feel sadness.
Every night
Every night.
God wants me to guess how…
God wants me to speculate how.
