Song stuck in my head

I've had this stuck in my head all week. From one of my favorite albums ever, Skylarking. This is Dear God by XTC.

Dear god, hope you get the letter and...
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving in the street
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from god
I can't believe in you

Dear god, sorry to disturb you but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about god
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god don't know if you noticed but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear god
I can't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That father, son and holy ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

Leaving on a Jet Plane

So Monday I fly to Hong Kong. From there I go to either Vietnam or China, depending on the VISA situation. Ultimately I'll be in China for most of my visit, but I'll finish up back in Hong Kong, where me and my boss have a deliciously free morning to go shopping! Not at the malls mind you, because Hong Kong makes New York look cheap. We're going to have to find a nice street market somewhere.

It's crazy to me that my first overseas trip will be to Asia. I'll try to blog from there, but I have no idea what the internet access is like. I'll be back the 16th.

off to pack!
