That's Why God Made Oceans

That’s Why God Made Oceans – Jim Silvers writer

Am E
You guys got the oil and we got the wheat
E Am
You live in the desert soaking up the heat
Am Dm
But history has proven good intentions are just vain
E Am
Stay out of my way, eliminate the pain

Chorus:
A D
That’s why God made oceans, to keep us apart
E A
We couldn’t live together; He knew it from the start
A D
Take a Moslem, a Christian, and throw in a Jew
E Am
When they all come together, it’s never good news

Now we’re all on this journey from cradle to grave
But we can’t travel together differences are too great
Thought we may meet over yonder on G-d’s golden shore
Down here it is Bush and Bin Laden at war

I did not vote for Bush and Kerry seemed lame
Peace will never happen; it’s not in this game
Just let me trudge my own road with its pain and despair
I’ll settle with you when we meet over there

Chorus II – the tag after the final line goes back to Am
That’s why G-d made oceans, to keep us apart
We couldn’t live together; He knew it from the start
But when you get all your Virgins, me my harp and my wings
Maybe then we will have us a new song to sing
Yes when you get all those virgins, I get my harp and my wings
Maybe then we can find us some sweet song to sing
