Heaven #1

from EVERYONE'S SPECIAL by Adam Murphy

lyrics

Get me to heaven lord to be with my friends
I’ll sing your praises in exchange for a good end
So we can sit with you all safe and smug
Looking at the damned we can only smirk and shrug
As they writhe in agony forever more
Infernally eternally in your pit of gore
We would fell pity but there’ll be no room
In a heart in Heaven for them that’s doomed

For you promise us only joy
For all your supplicating girls and boys
Who pray and pray like me every day
‘Cos I know how you have to hear how we think you’re great
We even pray for sinners as you say
Although it seems, I’m afraid, for them it’s all in vain
I try to warn them to follow and obey
But they refuse and choose to go their errant ways

Yeah I try to warn them as best I could
To stuff up their brains with the one good book
But they use their eyes not as they should
No they heard of other things and just had to look
Ah well so it seems for them ’twill be too late
Never mind at least I know I’ll be saved
So get me to heaven Lord to meet my friends
I promise all the praise you need to give me a good end
