Are You Happy In Heaven
Are you happy there in heaven
Or is it all just a fantasy
Do you enjoy the angels singing
While forgetting about me
As you walk around in your flowing robes
Is your mind in a state of bliss
Or do you look down on the living
And cry out for those you miss
With your heart so filled with joy
Has your brain been turned to mush
Are you free from controlling people
And all the buttons that they push
I'm not so sure I want to be
A mindless singing ghost
Who goes on for endless days
Chanting praises to the host
I'd hope instead to have a task
Visiting planets near and far
Exploring every galaxy
And chasing every star
Cause I'm not one for singing
Or bowing on my knee
I'd hope when this life ends
My spirit would be free
But I'm told to blindly follow
Ask no questions and simply trust
Ignore the smoke and mirrors
As obedience is a must
It's said that I'm not smart enough
To know how great it will be
But the preacher better bring...
Stronger logic than that
When selling that crap to me
If you take away my memories
While washing away my pain
Remove my desires and fantasies ,
And suppress my hopes for gain
There'll be nothing left of who I was
The parts that made me me
With this mind of many questions
And the joys of my humanity
There was a time when I had great faith
As many of you now do
I preached the word and prayed deep prayers
And believed it all was true
But I see now it's just a lie
To fool the people and give them hope
Forget the misery of their daily life
And somehow help them cope
With the crappy lives they now accept
The fact they've been controlled
Held in place and taught to serve
To do as they've been told
When you die you die that'll be the end
They'll dig a hole and toss you in
Don't waste your time trying to pretend
There is no hell there is no sin
