When God Was Sleeping
Emil Bulls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got you little sucker
you're about to meet your maker
be ready to pay your dues
you stick to nothing
now I'm the one to coffin
you six feet underground
yesterday's friend tomorrow's enemy
when you're around I begin to freeze

hey hey hey hey - take a last glimpse of me
hey hey hey hey - to eternity

I'm sick and tired of your sleazy and shady campaigns
your dubious moves are driving me insane
I know you know she knows your mommy knows when god was sleeping
you were spawned from hell

I caught you with your pants down
the blood still on your hands
now I'm gonna weed you out
you've never had a selfless thought since you little prick were born
you abused my trust in the worst way
you dispirit me
you left an evil scar
bad weeds grow tall
you're gonna reap what you sow

hey hey hey hey - take a last glimpse of me
hey hey hey hey - to eternity

I'm sick and tired of your sleazy and shady campaigns
your dubious moves are driving me insane
I know you know she knows your mommy knows when god was sleeping
you were spawned from hell

you're the devil - you dispirit me
you're the devil - you dispirit me

I got you little sucker
you're about to meet your maker
now you're gonna burn gonna burn
I got you little sucker
you're about to meet your maker
your selfish world comes crushing down
I got you little sucker
you're about to meet your maker
now you're gonna burn gonna burn
I got you little sucker
you're about to meet your maker
your selfish world comes crushing down
your selfish world comes crushing down
your selfish world comes crushing down
I'll fuck you till you love me

I'm sick and tired of your sleazy and shady campaigns
your dubious moves are driving me insane
I know you know she knows your mommy knows when god was sleeping
you were spawned from hell

I'm sick and tired of your sleazy and shady campaigns
your dubious moves are driving me insane




I know you know she knows your mommy knows when god was sleeping
you were spawned from hell

The singer is addressing this person directly, telling them that they are caught and will have to pay for their transgressions. The lyrics use vivid metaphors and imagery to depict the person's wickedness and the singer's anger towards them.


The opening lines, "I got you little sucker, you're about to meet your maker," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is in a position of power, having caught the deceitful person in their actions. The line, "be ready to pay your dues," suggests that the person will face punishment for what they have done.


The lyrics then go on to describe the person's character in unflattering terms. The singer accuses them of being unreliable, untrustworthy, and self-centered. The line, "bad weeds grow tall, you're gonna reap what you sow," suggests that the person's actions will come back to haunt them.


The chorus repeats the phrase, "I'm sick and tired of your sleazy and shady campaigns, your dubious moves are driving me insane," emphasizing the singer's frustration with the person's behavior. The line, "you were spawned from hell," drives home the idea that the person is fundamentally evil.


Overall, the lyrics of "When God Was Sleeping" are a scathing rebuke of a person who has acted deceitfully and hurtfully towards the singer. The singer is angry and vengeful, but also justifiably so, as the person in question has caused them significant harm.
