Someone Up There's Got Something Against Me Lyrics

Back when I was five years old

I'd pray to God, do all I'm told

Our father of the pride and pain

Who art in heaven making rain

See, back when I was young and free

I'd live by one philosophy

Now, God's bestowing charity

While hiding from necessity

Deliberating how

I'm still around somehow

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And they're making up a dangerous plan

And yet nobody is a-taking a stand

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And at the tearing of another scar

I say Lord you've crossed the line too far

It started with a fallen friend

A fellow on whom I depend

Before my loving family fell

So far into a wailing well

Now I wonder why he comes to be

The very deity I doubt and grieve

He's suppressed me like a louse

Brought death upon my house

Deliberating how

I'm still around somehow

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And they're making up a dangerous plan

And yet nobody is a-taking a stand

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And at the tearing of another scar

I say Lord you've crossed the line too far

What did I do wrong this time?

Where did I go wrong last time?

Well, send me a letter

Maybe I can do better

Cos' I care about the future

The future

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Woo

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And they're making up a dangerous plan

And yet nobody is a-taking a stand

Oh, ah

Someone up there's got something against me

And at the tearing of another scar

I say Lord you've crossed the line too far
