Ian Anderson was a monster back in 1970.
This is the song for the, for the old man up there
“My God”
People, what have you done?
Locked Him in His golden cage
Golden cage
Made Him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave, yeah
From the grave
He is the God of nothing
Which is all that you can see, see
You are the God of everything
Since He’s inside you and me
So lean upon Him gently
And don’t call on Him to save
You from your social graces
And the sins you wished to waive
You wished to waive
The Jewish, Christian, Muslim
Is awaiting to be free
Each claiming just a part of Him
Also a part of me
And the graven image, Catholic, yeah
With his plastic crucifix
You get it fixed
Confuses me as to who and where and why
As to how he gets his kicks
He gets his kicks
Confessing to the endless sin
With endless whining sounds
You’ll be praying ‘til next Thursday
To all the gods that you can count
Songwriters: Ian Anderson
