When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain't You listening?" Watching the news in our living rooms on the big screens And talking 'bout "If God's really real, then where is He?" You see the same God that we're saying might not even exist Becomes real to us, but only when we're dying in bed When ya healthy it's like, we don't really care for Him then Leave me alone God, I'll call you when I need you again Which is funny, everyone will sleep in the pews Then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do? It's hard to answer prayers when nobody's praying to you I look around at this world we walk on It's a smack in the face, don't ever tell me there's no God And if there isn't then what are we here for? And what are y'all doing down there? I don't know Lord Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Do You see us down here? Oh Lord Can You see us down here? Oh Lord Oh Lord, oh Lord Can You see us? Don't You see us?
