We were anxious for our prayers to be answered But our angels were distracted and so slow We were hoping for a few quick fixes But we found ourselves still down in the hole Now we're thinking that our prayers aren't answered ‘Cuz when it came the answer was “No” We were begging for some kind of protection And for a change in our dark circumstances We were walking down the miracle mile when We chalked it up to happenstance As the same rock we stood on crushed us And we called it a coincidence There may be no heaven, no, no, no There may be no hell, no There may be no place to go, but We'll all know soon enough If what your mother said was true Though Old Testament and cruel Did she serve you one too many drinks of the hard, hard stuff? Well, we'll all know soon enough We'll all know soon enough There's the same old man down on the corner He cries ‘Repent, you fools, the end is near!' He's just a mean old man with a bible in his hands Out peddling his dose of fear So why should we take his big bitter pill And wash it down with a bucket of our tears Chorus
