Well their brains were quite large for their bodies 
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb 
They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies 
And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs. 

And they thought they would be guarantee delivered 
To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard 
So they bought and they fought and they Twittered 
By 2153 they disappeared. 

Ah, they waited for their god in vain 
Yeah they waited for their god in vain 
In the last big play of the final game 
They waited for their god in vain. 

Oh, they went for the literal translation 
Of every text and symbol sacred work and screed 
They obsessed over minor variations 
Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds. 

And they thought that all the others were afflicted 
And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved 
And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted 
Now they're lying in the beds that they made. 

Ah, they waited for their god in vain 
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain 
Standing with their luggage waiting for the transport 
plane 
They waited for their god in vain. 

Ah, they waited for their god in vain 
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain 
When they called out for their god each one used a 
different name 
They waited for their god in vain. 

This is all we can conclude from what's left of their 
remains 
They waited for their god in vain.
