  Heaven and Hell
 
  The choir sings the same old songs
  How Jesus saves and faith is strong
  How we should praise and glorify
  So we’ll be saved when we up and die
 
  I sing along with half a heart
  I’m just not sure; but I do my part
  The organ grinds and people praise
  The preacher talks of better days
 
  The preacher talks of glory and grace
  So that we may go to a better place
  I just don’t know of heaven or hell
  I hope there’s a heaven the way they tell
 
  When I’m gone and in the ground
  Just buy my friends another round
  Tell them heaven is where we are
  But a life in hell just ain’t that far
