It's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,

You've been acting like Jesus owes you a favor,

Could you really call yourself a christian

if charity cost half as much as beer?

You pray a little more as you grow older,

you get religion as your hair turns gray.

But you don't need to worry about hereafter,
E D E E E E
just worry what you're going to do today.
