This song is about the recent advances in cloning animals. It is a very peppy (and very sarcastic) little ditty.
Cheryl told me that she got the idea for this song from people's comments that now we were "just like God" since we could clone animals. She thought it was a bit presumptious, and so she wrote this song from the point of view of an idiot.
The story she tells leading into this song is classic Cheryl.

- We're just like God now.
- You can quit your job and just sayeth stuff
- Just like God now.
- Didn't we know, sooner or later
- We'd have to come into our own?
- Throw out the pens, throw out the paper
- Now we're gonna write in stone.

- Just like God now.
- Hand the harps down to the monkeys
- Break down heaven's door.
- God can make some other place where people need him more.
- And He'll think twice I trust
- Before he makes 'em as smart as us
- Put on your Berkenstocks, let your hair grow long,
- Let your beard grow out, leave your bathrobe on.
- We're just like God, just like God
- We're just like God now.
