“God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man.”
Slip Slidin' Away
Song lyrics
Context: God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man.
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away.
