Beware The Gates Of Heaven

lyrics

9 Beware The Gates Of Heaven

Beware the gates of heaven
For there’s new security outside
They puff up tall and are so mean and small
‘Bout who gets in the line
They got their jobs just like anybody gets their jobs
Connections family ties
It’s not what you know
St Peter told me so
He thanked me for the drink
Said I need time to think
And he set off for the wild blue yonder…

Beware the mouths of old men
Who fly on the public purse
Their platforms raised and their gods praised
And the science reversed
They got their jobs just like anybody gets their jobs
Connections family ties
It’s not what you know
Superman told me so
He took off his cape
He took the fire escape
And he took off for the wild blue yonder…
