I went to heaven to get advice
I asked for god but he didn't have time
Hoped I could be happy I could be free
From the gun they keep pointing at me

Cable tv, pills and afterwork
To sleep at night
"son it's always worse somewhere else"
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful life

Everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues

I went downstairs just to get well
But I didn't have a soul left to sell
Self-help, pure race, old testament
To walk the line
Makes the healthy go insane

Oh what a wonderful, wonderful life

And everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues

Everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues
