Part 1: ... Nothing's Alrite in Our Life... /The Dead Flag Blues (Reprise)
California
God love this country, the United States, the world
And all the millionaires
If money could buy happiness my love, then we'll have it
But praise God
It's only salvation, it's only Jesus Christ
Holy Hallelujah, holy Jesus Christ
Nah, I'm not up for this
God give us peace, happiness, and love
I believe in Jesus!
And joy in our souls
No matter what we have, no matter the money
No matter the riches of the world
It cannot buy, it cannot buy what we want
[...] Realizing what we want
And what we need is the love of Jesus Christ
With the love of Jesus Christ
Hallelujah
I don't care what you have in the world
For if you don't have Jesus then we'd all be lost
We don't have the happiness and joy
If we don't have Jesus Christ, we don't have nothing
Nothing is alright in our life
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
If we don't have Jesus in our life
Part 2: The Sad Mafioso
Part 3: Drugs in Tokyo/Black Helicopter
They have a large barge with a radio antenna tower on it that they would charge up and discharge
They have a large barge with a radio antenna tower on it that they would charge up and discharge
They have a large barge with a radio antenna tower on it
