Lyrics
Pearly Gates
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell me that my life's a waste, tell me that I'm blasphemous
Tell me I will find out soon now come and tell it to my face
Now you're six feet underground, how does it feel, how does it sound?
Did the angel come for you, you're waiting for the light in vain.
Standing at the pearly gates now you'll have to wait
Might not let you in it's not your call
Now you're not so big my friend, now you're not so smart
Thought you knew it all you knew fuck all
Weren't prepared to leave so soon, filled the air with doom and gloom
Now you're six feet underground who's wasted life not me it's you
Lived your life true to the book, never had time to stop and look
My life's for me I live today, your life's the price you had to pay
Tell me that my life's a waste
Tell me that I'm blasphemous
Tell me I will find out soon
Now come and tell it to my face
