Know Your Rights
Outside the pearly gates
a billionaire is refused entry by St Peter
Why am I not allowed in
You already had a lifetime of heaven
whilst others lived in hell
Yes I did have a fantastic heavenly life
what difference does that make
Just how many times can you be in heaven
Only once it’s a permanent state of bliss
So what’s the problem
Hmm I see your point, ok go ahead
it’s all discretionary anyway
Penthouse suite do
is it overlooked
Next!
Poor wretch behind was listening
St Peter says so you’ve had a life of hell
Actually no wasn’t quite as bad as hell!
