Petty Gods

Petty Gods for petty men
Deep inside we know
Deep inside we seek
Deep inside we grow

Pettier and pettier
Our gods have now become
Pettier and pettier
They are not yet done

Petty gods for petty men
Our gods are just like we
Our gods are just like petty men
Our gods are all we see

Why have we such petty gods
That do the things they do
Why have we such petty gods
That do what we would do

Petty gods for petty men
The gods make such a fuss
The gods they have no mercy
The gods are just like us

Petty gods have petty men
And petty men petty gods
Petty gods are petty men
And petty men petty gods
