lyrics

I don't want to go heaven
If my dogs get left behind
I won't go where they're not wanted
You go on (I don't mind)

I don't want to go to heaven
If the saints all look like me
My idea of true salvation
Isn't color conformity

I don't want to go to heaven
If the streets are paved with gold
I couldn't watch all those poor angels
Sewing pockets on their white robes

Ain't no use to follow Satan
Just for power on this earth
When ashes fall to ashes
Nothing's left of any worth

I know beggars can't be choosers
But there's one more thing I know
If I ever get to heaven
It won't be 'cause I was forced to go

I don't want to go the heaven
As I head on down the road
There's a million lonely shepherds
Up there reaping what they sowed
