Country-Rock Blues: I Feel Like Clint Eastwood Talking To An Empty Chair: Not about politics, but a  metaphor for alienation and the human condition

I Feel Lke Clint Eastwood Talking To An Empty Chair

Everyone Except God
------------------------------
Everyone in this world is a total Disappointment--Except God,
Everyone tends to destroy any sense of enjoyment--Except God,
Everyone is a snake in the grass, Everyone is a pain-in-the-ass
And everyone is just passing gas, Everyone--except God:

When we Accept God's Acceptance: 
When we choose not to refuse Our Lord's Acceptance:
Everyone you know is just a total disappointment:
Though you go for the suppositories or the ointment;
Everyone in this world is a total disappointment—
Everyone except God, 
When you Accept God's Acceptance: 
When you choose not to refuse Our Lord's Acceptance...
Every corporation whore will blindly bore you to the core–
but not God; 
Rich or poor they're all full of horse-manure—but not God;
Everyone will leave you muddy-bloody black-and-blue,
Everyone'll give you that old hullaballoo,
And then they'll laugh and shaft you 
with that switcheroonee--Royal-Screw;
Everyone--except You-Know-Who
When you Accept God's Acceptance: 
When you choose not to refuse The Lord's Acceptance:
Everyone you know is just a total disappointment:
Though you go for the glucosamine or the chondroitin,
Everyone is just a rusty dusty fly-in-the-ointment--
everyone except God:
When you Accept God's Acceptance: 
When you choose not to refuse The Lord's Acceptance...
Now you may be a total-disappointment,
You may be a chronic-loser and a catatonic fool,
But accept Our Lord's Acceptance, you're the exception to the rule:
Everyone is a total-disappointment—everyone except the God-in-you 
When you Accept God's Acceptance: 
When you choose not to refuse Our Lord's Acceptance... 
Everyone in this world is  just a total disappointment--except God,
They'll decrease your inner peace 
And increase your lease on pointless unemployment—but not God; 
Everyone is sad bad news, Everyone is all confused,
Everybody's bound to give you the blues;
Everyone is untrue--except God: 
When we Accept God's Acceptance: 
When we choose not to refuse Our Lord's Acceptance:                  
Everyone we all know is just a total disappointment, 
Everyone we all know is just another missed appointment;
Everyone on this earthly plane is more than just a little insane,
Everyone we all know by name is playing the same oblivious game---except God: 
When we Accept God's Acceptance: 
When we choose not to refuse Our Lord's Acceptance...
