I Fought God (In a Denny's Parking Lot)

[**intro**: Jangling Guitars] [Verse 1] Moons over my hammy almost done ‘Bout to ask the girl for the check Heard harps, in the front door swung Saw a'face I promised one day to wreck [guitar] [verse 2] A pair of dark shades, a snowy white beard A smile as wide as the whole universe I said, “We are throwin’ down right here! “So call one ambulance and add one hearse!" [bridge] He just shrugged and then turned around I followed; no one made a sound One of us was gonna hit the ground Let’s see who goes all twelve rounds! [Chorus] I Fought God! In a Denny’s parking lot! I didn’t expect to win, Just to make him hurt a lot I Fought God! In a Denny’s parking lot! I raised arms, but not to pray So come here, o thou Creator! It’s Judge ment Day! [Verse 3] Weren’t no hippy messiah throwin’ hands But the real almighty O T O G We pulled off our shirts, I took a stance And then he squared right up with me He said, “I know you’re mad, and I understand But you’re going to learn like Jacob did that day.” I said, “You don’t know nothin’, you old man And that was wrasslin’; try some MMA!” [bridge] Didn’t need no bell, started tradin’ blows Fists flyin’, puttin’ on quite the show Punchin’, kickin’, going toe to toe And with every hit, my anger growed! [Chorus] I Fought God! In a Denny’s parking lot! I didn’t expect to win, Just to make him hurt a lot I Fought God! In a Denny’s parking lot! I raised arms, but not to pray So come here, o thou Creator! It’s Judge ment Day! [interlude] For children’s cancer and dick eatin’ worms For prayers unanswered and prison terms For free child abusers, dead opiate users Corporate greed, people with no futures For keeping women married to misogynists For countless other woes on my list For every one I gave him my fists And many more I might have missed! [guitar] [Verse 4] In the end, I still got wrecked Ate the asphalt seven minutes in I was fightin’ God, what did you expect? I still was proud, though that might be a sin He said, “I still love you my angry son I’ve got reasons, even if you cannot tell” I just spat, “Save it cause we ain't done, Meet you at the Waffle House in HELLLL!” [bridge] I know what I did was blasphemy And there’s nothing simple bout morality But sometimes the world get’s me spittin’ teeth When I get the chance again, I’ll hit repeat! [Chorus] I’ll Fight God! In a Denny’s parking lot! I don’t expect to win, Just to make him hurt a lot I’ll Fight God! In a Denny’s parking lot! Never let it be said I got feet of clay See you again, o thou Creator! On Judge ment Day!
