Analysis of Oh, My God
Dreamt the same dream a thousands times
Had the same dream again last night
Our lives flashed before my eyes
Except I was God high above the sky
Looking down onto mountain tops
Down the streams til they reach the crops
Poison poluted the food we ate
From the acid rain we create
As God I wonder what I could do
Let them die to make room for new.
