God so loved the idiot boy
   He gave him a pair of eyes to explore
   Gave him a pair of hands to destroy
   Any good thing that he found
  
   He said ?Put this kid in a candy store.
   Let him run around until he drops"
   Then just like a bull in a china shop
   Everything came crashing down
  
   God so loved the idiot boy
   That he filled the night with dreams
   Til dusty sunlight beams
   Danced upon the floor
  
   Gave him a solo in the choir
   Where songs of wild desire
   Were all his voice was for
   Lo lo lo lo lo lo
  
   God so loved the idiot world
   He gave it his only son to kick around
   That was long ago in another town
   (It could use a good laugh now)
  
   God so loved the idiot world
   Gave him a solo in the choir
   Where songs of wild desire
   Were all his voice was for
   Lo lo lo lo lo lo
  
   God so loved the idiot boy
   He gave him coffee grounds in a paper cup
   And a reason everyday to keep getting up
   In a world that drags you down
  
   God so loved the idiot boy
