lyrics
TO SERVE IN HEAVEN (HOPELESSLY)
Made of none, all come undone
No sobbing would shake your perfect frame
Convinced you are cloaked under the covers
Where you’re as happy as anyone
Where no dissent you will tolerate
Unless shared with smiley, with a flag or your picture
Safe, sheltered and accounted for
God, let it rain more wine, more games, more Novocain
Never challenge, never lessen
No, Ignorance wouldn’t be ignored
But it will make you swallow all the same
You were raised to serve in heaven
Over and done, our time has run
The time to consider it all insane,
A sunstroke fever, some drunken stupor
We’re reeking of hope…
Made of none, all come undone
No sobbing would shake your perfect frame
Convinced you are cloaked under the covers
Where you’re as happy as anyone
Where no dissent you will tolerate
Unless shared with smiley, with a flag or your picture
Safe, sheltered and accounted for
God, let it rain more wine, more games, more Novocain
Never challenge, never lessen
No, Ignorance wouldn’t be ignored
But it will make you swallow all the same
You were raised to serve in heaven
Over and done, our time has run
The time to consider it all insane,
A sunstroke fever, some drunken stupor
We’re reeking of hope…
