God gave man the blues

God is on sale
Oh my Lord, God is on sale, sitting right there in your corner shop window
Oh my Father got put up on sale, when the people couldn't find water
You know they didn't look too hard, but they found that sign underneath the couch

But when a man, he comes down walking, and he finds that corner store
That burden on his back buries straight deeper right down into his soul
Cause he's seen the tears slowly dry, but the well is overflowing
He carries out that for sale sign, and sets the whole place a burning

God gave man the blues as soon as He set his soul free
You see, God gave man the blues as soon as He set his soul free
Cause when a free man sees the world
Our blindness brings him down to his knees

No dollar can wrestle him down
No bottle can hide his pain
No damsel in distress can distort his eye from her fleshy legs
For you see, God gave man the blues as soon as He set that soul free
It came pouring down, and we walked on by
Cause rain never made a blind man see

Our feet pass through the waters, but they never end up clean
We go searching through black holes and the evergreens
We find God on sale through the window in a corner store
And we still don't know what we mean
