Album: "Sex with an X"


Dall'album del ritorno dell'irriverente duo scozzese che aveva pubblicato un solo album negli anni 80 e che aveva fatto innamorare Kurt Cobain. I Nirvana portarono al successo la loro "Jesus want me for a sunbeam", la parodia di un classico inno religioso.

Anche questa nuova canzone prende di mira le religioni che sanno solo fare "a chi ce l'ha più grosso" (si parla di dio, naturalmente) scatenando troppe inutili guerre.


Songs such as ‘My God Is Bigger Than Your God’ deal with serious topics.

That’s true. I mean, we don’t want to take a big stand on things but there are certain things that we have to take seriously. We’re written songs about religion before, and ‘My God Is Bigger Than Your God’ is just another song about religion. It’s just too big a subject to deal with in a humorous way, but I think as a lyricist you need to put across your opinions in a certain way.

Eugene Kelly interview


Thou shalt have no other gods before me

My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God

He'll slap you down with a smack in the face
Spread your nose all over the place
Yahweh, Buddha, Jesus, Zeus
Catch you on and on, one and two
Destroy you all with the stamp of his foot

It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
When you don't follow
When you hear me call

My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God

Get you in a headlock, twist your arm
Listen boy, I'm gonna do you harm
Yahweh, Buddha, Jesus, Zeus
Knock you out with the blast of his tune
Rip you up with a left hook soon

It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
When you don't follow
When you hear me call

My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God
My God's bigger than your God

Scratch your eyes and pull your hair
Your gloves are off, I don't play fair
Yahweh, Buddha, Jesus, Zeus
Don't turn your back, don't turn it yet
See the bruises you're gonna get

It makes no sense
It makes no sense at all
When you don't follow
When you hear me call
