G
I had a dream last night I was cast into hell by a jealous God
G
The Devil walked up and said, "You don't need no lightning rod
C
It hardly ever rains down here; I can't recall the last storm
G
You ain't gonna need that leather jacket, it gets kinda warm
D
There's one way, there's no way out; looks like you're here to stay
G
Oh, the place is a mess, it's overcrowded, more are coming everyday."
G
I said, "Aw, man, wait a minute, there's got to be somethin' wrong
G
I ain't a bad guy, I just write these little songs
C
I always pay my union dues, I don't stay in the passing lane."
G
And he said, "What about all that whisky and cocaine?"
D
I said, "Well, yeah... but that's no reason to throw me in hell
G
'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just like the way it smells."
G
He said, "Come on over here, son, let me show you around
G
Over there's where we put the preachers -- I never liked those clowns
C
They're always blaming me for everything wrong under the sun
G
It ain't that hard to do what's right, it's just maybe not as much fun
D
Then they walk around thinkin' they're better than me and you
G
And then they get caught in a motel room, doin' what they said not to do
G
"Now all the murderers and the rapists, they go in this fiery lake
G
As well as most of the politicians and the cops on the take
C
And all the mothers who wait 'til they get to K-Mart to spank their kids;
G
Instead of showin' 'em what to do what's right, they just hit 'em for what
they did
D
And all the daddy's who run off and abandon their daughters and sons
G
Oh, anybody who hurts a child's gonna burn until it's done."
G
"Everyone is down here," I said, "who's up in heaven with God and the Son?"
