       G                              C              G
Upon a missile rode the Lord, roaring justice is the sword
       G                            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
        G               D          G      C  G
Pouring out and boiling in uranium sands

          C                         G
Don't you know atomic power is just God's celestial shower
          G                                              D
There are those that he has chosen and those that he has not
          G             G7         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


Chorus:
        C            G
I said "Lord be thou near me
G                                                           D
Blot out everything that's strange to me, everything that's queer
        G  G7         C
I said "Lord don't be far
  G                                 D               G
I am in need of a friend indeed the great Caucasian God

 
Does not the Lord abide in Texas down in Waco and the rest of
Every Israel that hubris ever claimed
Does not the Lord abide in prisons, full of men with holy visions
Don't the Lord abide in every tent and cave

Does not the Lord abide in bunkers and rifles without number
Every Ruby Ridge and Rittenhouse and home
Does not the Lord abide in fear in tactical gear
Don't the Lord abide in every hellbent soul

Chorus
 
Bridge (Spoken)
G#
I's like to take a moment to talk with y'all about death
G#
There's a lot of folks that fear death coming quick and swift in the night
G#
Stealing away from them the toil of their hands and the fruits of their labor
G#
But I say unto you today there ain't a crueler trick that death has ever played on man
G#
Than to fool a man into thinking, though he was very much dead on the inside
              A
He was in fact alive on the outside


Key Change to A
A                                        D                 A
There is a foolish generation squandered all their fathers gave them
          A                             E
They were running out of time left to enjoy
           A                             D           A
They would kill and eat their own if the TV told 'em so
           A                            E              A
So they're keen to watch the world burn just to make a point

 
Chorus
              D            A
And they say "Lord be thou near me
         A                                                 E
Blot out everything that's strange to me everything that's queer
            A             D
They said, "Lord don't be far
         A                                    E               A
But they are in need of a friend in need, the great Caucasian God

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