Lyrics
I died one night quite peacefully Oh lying in my sleep I prayed the lord the lordy lord I prayed the lord my soul to keep I wandered through the clouds And much to my surprise I saw before the pearly gates A mob of souls with wild eyes Boozehounds, and housewives Some rich and some poor A tea party of vagrants Knocking at the door Like Knock knock knock! knocking at the door Oh Knock knock knock! Knocking at the door And there he is! there he is! God in all his glory Sitting on his throne of our broken human stories There he is, and he said: "I'm not lettin you in, You're a race of broken cages Filled with shame and sin" And all the old ladies sing "If you don't let me in to heaven, I'll just burn it down Cause I've done my time in hell If you don't let me in to heaven, I'll just burn it down Oh yeah, I may be human But that's not on me thats on you man Yeah, I may be human But that's not on me thats on you man " On this side of heaven There are many pretty souls Who worked a life night and day Only to pray their way Into a place, where God says "Oh go to hell, I wish you well, I wish you well but go to hell I wish you well " And sneaking through the side door I saw many suited snakes Making shady deals with angels To get into the pearly gates Like There he is! there he is! God in all his glory Sitting on his throne of our broken human stories There he is Hiding in his castle Who has the nerve to create life And then call it a hassle And all the old ladies sing "If you don't let me in to heaven, I'll just burn it down Cause I've done my time in hell If you don't let me in to heaven, I'll just burn it down Cause I've done my time in hell Oh my time in hell Oh yeah, I may be human But that's not on me thats on you man Yeah, I may be human But that's not on me thats on you man "
