God Bless Everyone Lyrics by Vance Gilbert

BaD Dog Buffet

[Verse 1]
I met the Buddah
At a birthday party
And he said he could
Make me smarter
Said he’d have me talking
Just like Stephen Hawking
Writing songs like A.P. Carter
Rule number one
About traps that I’ve learned
Turn your back on your bait
When you barter
So I thanked him twice
And said “That’s very nice
But I think I’ll just stay
A slow starter”
[Chorus]
Oh bless all the ships at sea
Oh bless all the good things
That make their way back to me
Bless all the stars
And how far they fell
Through the wind and the snow
And thе rain and the sun
Oh what the hell
God blеss everyone
[Verse 2]
I could be my daddy’s most
Favorite child
Or I could be angry
And broken and wild
But I stand here before you
The one undefiled
Cause i refuse to choose
Between them
I’m getting quite good at
Riding this fence
It’s the one thing I do
That makes any damned sense
And I’ll take as the old man’s
Recompense
He stay buried where
I don’t have to see him
[Chorus]
Oh bless all the ships at sea
Oh bless all the good things
That make their way back to me
Bless all the clouds and the
Mountains and trees and the
Spiders with webs
That have yet to be spun
Oh what the hell
God bless everyone
[Bridge]
Why not?
Why not?
[Verse 3]
There goes your dream
Of being a spy
Where the violins are trilling
And you’re squinting one eye
And you aim and you shoot
And you waste a bad guy
And now you’re shaken and stirred
From your leisure
‘Cause you’ve traded your gun
And your waterproof tux
For shopping lists held up by
Daisies and ducks
On a Frigidare covered
With artwork that sucks
Made by children you love
Beyond measure
[Chorus]
Oh bless all the ships at sea
Oh bless all the good things
That make their way back to me
Bless all the birds and the bees
And the children
With the scuffed up knees
That play in the sun
Oh what the hell
God bless everyone
