That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

This is not a rant, just an effin cool song from XTC

Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don,Äôt mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
,Äôcause they don,Äôt get enough to eat
From god,

I can,Äôt believe in you.

Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
,Äôcause they can,Äôt make opinions meet,
About god,

I can,Äôt believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too.

Dear god,
Don,Äôt know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain,Äôt and so do you,
Dear god,

I can,Äôt believe in,
I don,Äôt believe in,

I won,Äôt believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You,Äôre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it,Äôs the same the whole world ,Äôround.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebody,Äôs unholy hoax,
And if you,Äôre up there you,Äôll perceive,
That my heart,Äôs here upon my sleeve.

If there,Äôs one thing I don,Äôt believe in...

It,Äôs you,
Dear god.
I'm laughing, but it's a laugh of impatience.

Sarah McLachlan's cover of it is pretty sweet, too.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
