[JOB]

The fire of God fell from heaven

And burned up the sheeps and the oxen

A great wind came across the desert

And fell on the heads of my children

I got loathsome sores from the sole of my foot

To the crown of my head

And now my God, my God, my sweet sweet God

I was that I was dead

Well, I always thought You were the best

And now You put me to the test

And now my God, my God, my sweet sweet God

I wish that I was dead

You took my daughters

You took my sons

You took my good stuff

You took my fun

You took my sweetness

You took my pride

You took my joy and I'm dead inside

And my shoes don't fit and I'm allergic to cats

And last night in the kitchen I swear I saw a rat

I don't have enough time, and it's raining again

And I hate my mother and I lost my pen

My baby was butchered, my soul's on fire

I slit my wrists on an old piano wire

My mind wanders and I drink all the time

I've been beaten, I've been raped, is the guilt all mine?

No one loves me enough, and my belly's too large

I don't have enough stuff and there's bad guys in charge

And the people I love, they can be so mean

There's a pain that gnaws me

I'm afraid to be alone

Terrors plague me

The night racks my bones

And You've forgotten me

And You've turned your back

And this world is shit

And You don't do jack

And well my God, my God, my sweet sweet God

I wish that You were dead

[ENSEMBLE]

La da da, da da, da da da da...

[JOB]

I have become like dust and ashes

And I cry to You and You do not answer me

You toss me about in the roar of the storm

And I would speak to the Almighty

I desire to argue my case with God

Why do You hide Your face?

Answer me! Answer me!

Get down here and answer me!!!!!!

(God comes down)

[GOD/JOB]

You don't know what it's like to be me

You don't know what it's like to be me

You don't know what it's like to be me

You don't know what it's like to be me-

[GOD]

Enough! Silence!

Gird up your loins like a man. I will question you

Were you there when I laid out the Earth?

Who measured it?

Surely you know!

Or who shut in the sea

When it burst out from the womb?

Surely you know!

Have you commanded the morning since your days began

And caused the dawn to know its place

So that it might take hold of the skirts of the Earth

And the wicked be shaken out of it?

What's it like at the gates of death?

Surely you know!

Or how about the gates of deep darkness?

Surely you know!

For you were born then, and the number of your days is great!

What about horses (I made those)

How'd they get so big and strong?

Surely you know

It leaps like a locust

Its majestic snorting is terrible

How come? Oh, oh yeah, you know

Can you lift up your voice to the clouds

So that a flood of waters covers you?

Can you send forth lighting, can you send forth snow?

The ostrich flaps its wings wildly

[JOB]

I really wanna punch you in the fucking

In the fucking face

Yes I really wanna punch you in the fucking face

I really wanna punch you in the fucking

In the fucking face

Yes I really wanna punch you in the fucking face

[GOD]

Consider Leviathan

Can you draw it out with a fish-hook

Or press down its tongue with a cord?

Will it speak soft words to you?

Will you play with with it as with a bird

Lay hands on it;

Think of the battle;

You will not do it again!

Can you open the doors of its face?

There is a terror all around its teeth

It's big, and I made it!

Its mouth is a torch

Sparks of fire leap out

And out of its nose comes smoke

As if from a boiling pot

It sneezes light

Its eyes are the dawn

You think you can do that?

Aw yeah really come on

Its breath kindles coals

Flame comes out of its mouth

Its neck is the North

Its legs are the South

Its terrible dancing

Leaves a shining wake

On Earth it has no equal

Leviathan is king over all that are proud

[ENSEMBLE]

He's

Gonna

Punch her

In the

[JOB]

Fucking face

(He punches GOD in the nose)
