If
無力P feat.花たん Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If god had long hair, and a gottie,
And if his eyes were pretty glazed,
And he looked spaced out would you buy hhis story,
Would yo believe he had an eye infection?

[Chorus]
And yeah, yeah, god looks baked
And yeah, yeah, god smells good

And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What is god smoked ?,
Hit the bong like some of us,
Drove a tydie microbus,and listens to rolling stones,

If god a place in the beging and did he grow any seeds ,
Or did he put them there for adam and eve,
So theyed be hungry for the apple that the snake was offerin

[Chorus]

And yeah yeah god rolls great,
And yeah yeah god smells good,
And yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
What if god smoked ?,
Do you suppose he had a bus?
When he made the platipus,
He made it earth our home.
Does he like perljam or the stones?
And do you think he rolls his own,
Up there in heavin on the throne?

And when the saints go marching home,
Maybe he sits and smokes a bong.

Overall Meaning

The song "If" is an introspective exploration into the nature of God and religion. The lyrics present a contemplative hypothetical situation where God is depicted as having long hair and a goatee, with glazed eyes and a spaced-out demeanor. The singer asks if the listener would believe in God if this were the image he presented. Throughout the song, the idea of God smoking marijuana is also mentioned as a means to explore his personality and preferences.

The communal experience of smoking weed is also referenced in the lyrics, where the singer suggests that if God smoked, he would probably hit the bong like some of us do. The chorus repeats the phrase "And yeah, yeah, god looks baked / And yeah, yeah, god smells good" as a way of inviting the listener to consider this unconventional portrayal of God. The song also asks the listener to reflect on the creation of the world, specifically the placement of the seeds and the role of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Line by Line Meaning

If god had long hair, and a gottie,
If the depiction of God was aesthetically different from what we've been taught, with long hair and a beard,

And if his eyes were pretty glazed,
And if God appeared to be under the influence,

And he looked spaced out would you buy hhis story,
And if God's demeanor seemed out of the ordinary, would you accept what he says as truth?

Would yo believe he had an eye infection?
Or would you assume that his physical appearance was due to an ailment?

[Chorus]
Refrain

And yeah, yeah, god looks baked
Yes, it seems like God is high

And yeah, yeah, god smells good
And God smells pleasant

And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And so on

What is god smoked ?,
What if God was a smoker?

Hit the bong like some of us,
What if he used recreational drugs like some humans do?

Drove a tydie microbus,and listens to rolling stones,
And what if God drove a psychedelic VW van and enjoyed music from the Rolling Stones?

If god a place in the beging and did he grow any seeds ,
Did God create the world and all its plants from nothing or did he plant the seeds and let them grow?

Or did he put them there for adam and eve,
Or did he place them there specifically for Adam and Eve?

So theyed be hungry for the apple that the snake was offerin
So that they would be tempted to eat the forbidden fruit that the serpent offered them

[Chorus]
Refrain

And yeah yeah god rolls great,
Yes, it seems like God makes great joints

And yeah yeah god smells good,
And God still smells pleasant

And yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
And so on

What if god smoked ?,
Again, what if God smoked?

Do you suppose he had a bus?
And if so, did God also have a psychedelic VW van?

When he made the platipus,
And when God created the platypus,

He made it earth our home.
Did he intend for them to live specifically on Earth?

Does he like perljam or the stones?
Does God have a preference between Pearl Jam and the Rolling Stones?

And do you think he rolls his own,
And do you think God makes his own joints?

Up there in heavin on the throne?
While sitting on his heavenly throne?

And when the saints go marching home,
And when the saints go marching in,

Maybe he sits and smokes a bong.
Perhaps God takes a break and smokes a bong.
