The Idiot Boy

God so loved the idiot boy

He gave him a pair of eyes to explore

Gave him a pair of hands to destroy

Any good thing that he foundPut this kid in a candy store

Let him run around until he drops

Then just like a bull in a China shop

Everything came crashing downGod so loved the idiot boy

That he filled the nights with dreams

Till dusty sunlight beams

Danced upon the floorGave him a solo in the choir

Where songs of wild desire

Were all his voice was for

Lo lo lo lo lo loGod so loved the idiot world

He gave it his only son to kick around

That was long ago in another town

It could use a good laugh now

God so loved the idiot worldGave him a solo in the choir

Where songs of wild desire

Were all his voice was for

Lo lo lo lo loGod so loved the idiot boy

He gave him coffee grounds in a paper cup

And a reason everyday to keep getting up

In a world that drags you downGod so loved the idiot boy

God so loved the idiot boy

God so loved the idiot boy
