LYRICS:
When the god of love returns
There'll be hell to pay
Though the world may be out of excuses
I know just what I would say
Let the seven trumpets sound
As a locust sky grows dark
But first let's take you on a quick tour of your creation's handiwork
Barely got through the prisons and stores
And the pale horse looks a little sick
Says, "Jesus, you didn't leave a whole lot for me
If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?"
And we say it's just human, human nature
This is place is savage and unjust
We crawled out of the darkness
And endured your impatience
We're more than willing to adjust
And now you've got the gall to judge us
The spider spins his web
The tiger stalks his prey
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
Every monster has a code
One that steadies the shaking hand
And he's determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can
Oh, it's just human, human nature
We've got these appetites to serve
You must not know the first thing about human beings
We're the earth's most soulful predator
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored
Oh, my Lord
We just want light in the dark
Some warmth in the cold
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know

Listening to this song and to this album during the current events feels much more deep. It’s beyond the time.
This album aged like fine fucking wine.
Yago Bezerra Yes!!!!
I was just thinking the same thing
pure comedy didnt hot me at first. Has truly become my favorite album by him and up there in my top 10
Commenting at the end of 2024 to say it still feels more poignant than ever
God I love this man. His music speaks to me in ways I’ve never felt before. I don’t care how corny it sounds.
Saw him live a few months ago and had a spiritual revelation while he was playing this song, thanks papa

Piet en Lia van den Berg what
My most beloved song on Pure Comedy and lordy did Josh and Co. nail it at their show in Berkeley, CA. Why is this my favorite? I too was force fed christianity ala my parents which led to nothing short of PTSD as their words, Jesus words, their churches words rarely matched their cruel abusive restrictive actions.
Christianity is NOT the work of the church in any way. If you actually read your bible you would know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and nobody comes to the Father except through Him alone and that religion is not God. They are two separate things..... you were force fed Christianity? I see that as a good thing, not being forced but that you were taught or tried to be taught, God's word , IF in a loving and true way...... Mind you, there are organized religion that does force false doctrine but the bible is God's true word and Jesus Christ is the Messiah and you should take heed and live according to God's word. Their words and Jesus' words are NOT the same thing. How dare you! Do not compare Christ with human beings. It is not the same thing. I pray for you. I hope one day you come to see the truth as I did and am doing and letting the holy spirit work in my life in order to obey God.
@@danelogan1532 People like you are why I stopped going to church. What kind of person must you really be to think faux compassion and blatant condescension is not only an effective means of proselytizing but an appropriate response to someone explaining the abuse they faced by people of your same stripe?
Dane Logan Yeah you are a disturbed individual. Leave people alone ffs
Boo fucking hoo
@@danelogan1532 God isn't real loser
earth's most soulful predators
try something less ambitiuos next time you get bored
@@rokas1899 😂
I am grateful for the daily uploads.
This and Misty Mountain are top 2 on Pure Comedy for me, so great.
Calman Hilkert SAME if you mean "So I'm Growing Old on Magic Mountain". My absolute favorites on this release. Both performed powerfully at his concert in Berkeley, CA last week. Be well!
Yes! Funny that I wrote "Misty" Mountain instead of Magic. The outro on that song is so great.
You too!
Calman Hilkert same here!! Those two songs are just such simple and perfectly written stories.
Calman Hilkert “So I’m Growing Old on Misty Mountain Hop” would be a great title, tbh
One of the most profound songs I've heard to date..eat your heart out B.T.
He’s such a fucking genius
This song is so beautiful. From a whole other world.
love john misty... like that lou reed lyric 'YOU'D EAT SHIT AND SAY IT TASTED GOOD IF YA THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME MONEY IN IT FOR YOU"...
FJM is actually a old time Preacher who happens to write about sublime human tragedy's.
Oh my lord, listen.
FJM is brilliant
Just sublime...
Absolutely Beautiful !
I've listened to this album several times, but this is the first time I really "heard" the words. BRILLIANT! I'm so sorry most of people from my generation don't get Josh Tillman.
Took me until just this year to 'get' this album and man it's good.
Gives me chills every time 💕💕💕
Stunning.
Really thank you so much Dan or whoever it is thats uploading these videos, they make my day. Really.
beautiful
Great Performance! The visuals are stellar!
I NEED to see him live 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Still waiting....been 2000 years...
He is coming soon. To God time is not the same as it is to us so what is 2000 years to us is but 1 day to God. He promised He will come. He will come.
@@danelogan1532 nah man he ain't coming
❤️❤️❤️
How can this music have such little attention.
Has anyone got the sheet music to the piano? I'd kill for being able to play that, but am not proficient enough to just get it from listening. Amazing song
Ultimate guitar tabs has it, but it works just the same for piano. Good luck :)☮️
He’s our atheist Cat Stevens. Thank you Father
I don't think he's atheist based on interviews
My guy
I AM JESUS CHRIST IN THE FLESH THE ONE TRYING TO CONTACT YOU FATHER JOHN MISTY I WONT GIVE HELL
Is the moon a slice of salami?
HUGH IS MY FATHER NOT MY NATURE
Always hear Elton John in his voice.
Randy Newman-esque.................................................
Who the fuck disliked this
Jesus is the only this way the only truth abd only saviour and he has every right to judge us if we die in our wickedness
Jesus is the Way and the Truth. Organized religion on the other hand leaves much to be desired.
I DONT JUDGE yet even if I DO JUDGE MY JUDGEMENT IS CORRECT
Nowadays he believes in god now
Nice, but......?
What?
Brendan Keane I feel FJM is kind of an altar*ego (never use that word cant spell) ,but you can't blame God for stupidity/ignorance for humanitys actions. God didnt build a prison or wal-mart. He gave man free will. It's almost similar to a theistic evolutionist point of view. I think is what I was thinking when I posted that comment. Most likely the beer & lack of sleep was writing. What do I know? I'm the kind who believes 1+2=1 so there that is. Much Love and Respect. My half brothers last name is Keane what a trip. Love&Light tetrahedron!🙋🙈🙉🙊 ooh know what would be cooler? If that sets Mountain range was 3D like that moon Great fucking show Josh is a wordsmith & some what intelligent lol. Later till the next FJM post😉
Blu Ridge Mountains agreed I'm glad someone said it
I believe his point is that human beings' stupidity and ignorance is a result of the dark world we live in, and that we adjust in whatever way we know to be happy, and being all knowing he should have known many of us would succumb to this lifestyle, so how does he have the gall to judge us who he created, knowing so many would fail.
The point is: *what kind of psychotic creator blames her/his creations for their design flaws?*
(Not that I believe in a Bearded, Vaguely-Levantine, Anus-Free Sky Giant... but, as a rhetorical figure, It is the target here)
"God of love"
*Kills billions in a flood, because what he created didn't behave like he wanted them to 😂
What do you think this song is about lmao
how Christianity sucks@@labradude
He trimmed his beard, looks nice. Not as Lettermany; more Kimmelesque.
He sings a pretty good sermon. Too bad the message is false. There is no god.
you realize he's not a priest right
The bible thumpers and the Atheists are perfect for each other; two sides of the same coin really. Thumpers read a silly story in a book and say, "Look proof of God", Atheists read a silly story in a book and say, "Look proof there is no God".
i hate to say it but each others all weve got
MegaParker1981 You need to listen to what Atheist are actually saying. Check out the Atheist Experience shows on TH-cam.
Did u not listen, he just said there isnt a God. We are God.
This song is fucked up.
How so?
