DAVID BOWIE
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
2
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
3
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
4
As the merchandise exchanged their money roared
5
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
6
Into the paper bag at her side
7
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
8
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
9
Crying, "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
10
Maybe God will look the other way
11
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
12
Maybe God will look the other way, hey"
13
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
14
The perspiration trickled down her forehead
15
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
16
She was led away bewildered and amazed
17
In her head the pounding cash machines were shrieking on the counters
18
As her escort asked her softly for her name
19
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
20
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
21
Crying, "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
22
Surely God won't look the other way
23
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
24
Surely God won't look the other way, no, no"
