People say the lord works

In mysterious ways

But there is no mystery

All we see is...

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, disease

Giving the gift of suffering

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, and disease

It's all part of the masterplan

Masterplan

The masterplan

Why do people bother praying

If he's got a masterplan?

You don't get out what you put in

Otherwise we'd be free of

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, disease

Giving the gift of suffering

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, and disease

It's all part of the masterplan

Two hands hard at work accomplish more than a million

Clasped in prayer, for a god who simply doesn't care

How does all the misery fit into the masterplan?

Could it be that the idea of a loving god was created by man?

Think of all the time that's wasted

Letting religion fill

All of the empty spaces

Some say it's "God's will"

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, disease

Giving the gift of suffering

War, famine, death, disease

Slavery, genocide, radioactive seas

War, famine, death, and disease

It's all part of the masterplan
