about

Kind of our dubious take on the classic Jim Morrison line - "Cancel my subscription to the resurrection."

lyrics

Verse 1

Well I've seen magic and I've seen mystics,
But all that shit leaves me kind of pessimistic,
`Cus if that's what I've gotta do to get up there,
I don't have a hope and that don't seem fair,
`Cus I've tried all my life to be a good person,
I may be on the lazy side but there could be worse things,
I'm no rainbow warrior or forest elf,
But I've always tried my hardest just to be myself.

Chorus

I ain't going to space,
I ain't going to space,
All you other clever mother fuckers are but,
I ain't going to space.

Verse 2

A long time ago in the garden of Eden,
Eve had a bite of fruit and that's how we got evil,
But if I'm going to hell for having a snack,
I feel short changed I want my money back.

Chorus

Verse 3

I'll be last in line for the resurrection,
If God is my witness get me some witness protection,
I've done a lot of bad things I'd rather not mention,
I'm the friggin' anti-Christ - get me Van Helsing.

Chorus, Chorus, Instrumental, Chorus.
