Lyrics Big Country – God’s Great Mistake

Not enough answers to too many questions
But guns are the last things we need
So we better watch the news
For we all have minds to feed

For the latest in monsters, a word from our sponsors
I write to the weather map guy
Who doesn’t have much hair
But he’s got a matching tie

Put the cat out and take off the phone
And leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
The problem in the plan
We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
We get home if we can

There’s a police car parked outside a schoolyard
Take home the law in a tin
Are they keeping bad guys out
Are they keeping bad guys in

Put the cat out and take off the phone
And leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
The problem in the plan
We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
We get home if we can

I believe that democracy is meant to keep us free
I believe that Jesus Christ is who he’s meant to be
I believe a living Elvis will soon appear on my TV

Put the cat out and take off the phone
Leave a light on for the last one home

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake

We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
The problem in the plan
We’re all a part of God’s great mistake
We get home if we can
