"Dear God" lyrics

Dear God, if you're really real
Then I'm sorry I haven't reached out in a while
Since I was a child, I've been busy, you see
So I haven't had time to seek your company
I was under the impression
That you had left and your death I did grieve
I had simply grown out of the privilege
To believe

Dear God, things have gotten so bad
That I'm asking an illusion for a lifeline or two
I thought that I'd be six feet under the ground
Before I would consider ever coming to you
I was under the impression that you had left
And your death I did grieve
I had simply grown out of the privilege
To believe

Dear God, I'm not sure if you're real
But if you're up there, I have one small request
Since everything else right now is shitty
Could you please cut me some slack?
I'm asking for just one good thing
One good thing

Could you make me famous?
I think that would make me happy, so
Just shower me in compliments
But never get too close
Give me my injection of attention
And just let me overdose
I graduated from law school
In the top-tier of my class
But I keep getting fired from the places I'm hired
And keeping a job is becoming a pain in the ass

So, God, will you help me pay my rent?
Because it's three days past the due date, and my grace is almost up, fuck
Since everything else is such a mess right now
Will you cut me some slack?
I'm asking for just one good thing
One good thing

Dear God, all that I wanna do
Is to help all the people that need me to
The people who cannot defend themselves
Against this horrible system like others can do
I will be the face of justice
Because my sympathy is too much to bare
I could never grow out of this curse
That is to care

And this is where dialogue happens
The two main characters, Jack and Cameron
Learn from a mutual friend that Lucifer's law firm
Is hiring

That could make me famous, I think
That would make me happy, so
Just shower me in compliments
(Think of all the people I could help)
But never get too close
Give me my injection of attention
(I have never come so close)
And just let me overdose

I graduated from law school
In the top-tier of my class
And I have a suspicion that all my emission
Is gonna pay off, gonna pay off
If I ask (if I ask)
If I beg (if I beg)
If I pray (if I pray)
So dear God, dear God
Dear God, dear God
