The Great Disappointment - Golden State

The girl on the TV, she'd probably see me as ugly
The man on the radio, he knows how that feels
Takes all my resolve, not to dissolve into crying
Though I know, only the radio's real

He says, ain't it great that the Golden State is on fire?
Ain't it swell, there's a rollickin' Hell rollin' loose?
Nothing like that would happen here in the heartland
The kids left town, no one turns down the good news

Gets me wondering, if the fire wasn't heaven sent
His judgment's thundering, ain't nobody lining up to repent
Seems some folks just can't take a hint

The girl on the TV, she'd probably see me as angry
The man on the radio, he knows me the best
Takes all my resolve, not to dissolve into laughing
Thinking about the reckoning out in the West

Ain't it great that the golden state is on fire?
Ain't it nice to see paradise burn down?
Nothing like that would happen here in the heartland
Ain't nothing happened at all since the kids left town

Gets me wondering, why everybody isn't good like me
His judgment's thundering, and someday he's gonna make me see
The way God works ain't a mystery to me

The girl on the TV wants me to be distracted
From what the man on the radio's always about to reveal
Takes on my resolve, not to dissolve into violence
Though I know that only the radio's real

Ain't it great that the golden state is on fire?
Ain't it nice to see all the bastards defiled?
Nothing like that would happen here in God's country
He loves us, he gave us his child
