God, Make Up Your Mind Lyrics

[Intro]
Backseat of your family station wagon
Listening Nina Simone
100 years of solitude
And only 12 years old

[Chorus]
God, make up your mind
God, make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair?
Or should I take what's mine?

[Verse 1]
Your mom is calling out, 'look at the Grand Canyon'
Camilla couldn't care less
Gaze into the hole
Your stomach feels the emptiness of death

[Chorus]
God, make up your mind
God, make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair?
Or should I take what's mine?
Like everyone else

[Bridge]
From New York to New Orleans, played alphabet
Kansas to Boise, won the battleship
Memorized the capitals, crossword puzzles

Drew a picture of a cat laying dead in the street
Daydream about my real dad back in California
[Verse 2]
Elephant in your brain
Reminding you you've got to make a choice

Wraps his arms around you slow
'Cause you tense up like an armadillo

[Chorus]
God, make up your mind
God, make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair?
Or should I take what's mine?
Like everyone else

[Outro]
Why ain't my teacher on a street sign?
He's done so much more than politicians, dead musicians
You wanna help someone you gotta be a no one
That's what I figured out the cat in the street meant
You gotta make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
