       G                             C              G
Upon a missile rode the Lord roaring justice is the sword

                                    D
He was melting off the faces of the damned

         G                                    C                G
You have heard of Noah's flood that tale will pale against the blood

                           D       G
Pouring out and boiling in uranium sands

          C                         G
Don't you know atomic power is just God's celestial shower

                                                         D
There are those that he has chosen and those that he has not

          G                        C                  G
There are many who will die in the Lord's plan by and by

G                                            D         G
But it won't be you or I thanks to the great Caucasian God

        C       G
I said "Lord be thou near

                                                           D
Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer

        G             C
I said "Lord don't be far

     G                                    D         G
I am in need of a friend indeed the great Caucasian God
[Verse 2]
             G                           C
Does not the Lord abide in Texas down in Waco

                                          D
And the rest of every Israel that hubris ever claimed

      G                              C             G
Don't the Lord abide in prisons full of men with holy visions

G
Don't the Lord abide in every tent and cave

         C                               G
Does not the Lord abide in bunkers every rifle without number

                                     D
Every ruby ridge and Rittenhouse and home

             G                  C
Does not the Lord abide in fear in tactical gear

G                             D   G
Don't the Lord abide in every hellbent soul
[Chorus]
        C       G
I said "Lord be thou near

                                                           D

I said "Lord don't be far

I am in need of a friend indeed the great Caucasian God
[Bridge]
G#
I want to take a moment to talk with y'all about death

G#
There are many that fear death coming quick and swift in the night

G#
Taking from them the toil of their hands and the fruits of their labor

G#
But I say unto you today there ain't a cruer trick that death has played on man

G#
Than fooling a man into thinking that while his soul is dead inside

              A
He is in fact alive on the outside
[Verse 3]
A                                        D                      A
There is a foolish generation squandered all their fathers gave them

                        E
They are running out of time left to enjoy

           A                             D            A
They would kill and eat their own if the TV told them so

                                        E               A
So they're keen to watch the world burn just to prove a point
[Chorus]
        D       A
I said "Lord be thou near

                                                           E
Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer

        A             D
I said "Lord don't be far

     A                                       E      A
I am in need of a friend indeed the great Caucasian God

                                    E               D A  E A
I am in need of a friend indeed the great Caucasian God
