Deathbed Confessions – 8:31am, May 1, 2071

I’ve dropped some evil, got some good, faked it off before wide eyes
The more I fail, the more I try
A lot of people thought that I would pray to God before I die
Sunday buffet, I’ll have the meat
Lord’s name in vain, I blasphemy
Sex before marriage, naturally
I covet everything, I’m a man of greed
Lust? I trust in flattery
Theft? I mostly randomly
That’s just me and I’m glad to see
That bad things never came back to me
And what does that exactly mean?
“My people… let pharaoh go” “Die”
I’ve dropped some evil, got some good, faked it off before wide eyes
The more I fail, the more I try
A lot of people thought that I would pray to God before I die
But I’d sooner random dial strangers on my telephone
Because at least they dumb it down to the only language that I’ve ever known
They don’t speak in code or steal into my mind and read beliefs and goals
He can keep his gold, but I’m not going to add to it. Leave my greed alone.
Calm down, you crazy cult fans, reason’s home
And all she really wants to tell you is “to each his own”
But, you can’t teach an old preacher those new tricks
So, forgive me for checking whether the evil souled shoe fits
I’ve dropped some evil, got some good, faked it off before wide eyes
The more I fail, the more I try
A lot of people thought that I would pray to God before I die
There will be pain and pleasure
It’s just something that we do, my darling
Here’s looking at you – I’m departing
Starting to see death better
Good deeds won’t feed you when you’re starving
Unless you use it as a tool in bartering
You said “what goes around comes back again”
But, that’s absurd, it never occurred, it isn’t happening
I’ve done some bad shit, some bad shit came back as magic
Some average come random actions have happened
And then bombs have landed
But not on me… on strangers
…their kids and on their neighbours
Even though they avoided behaviours that would have attracted bad karma invaders
It didn’t matter.
I’m waiting for a god to give an answer
to what kind of hate he’d have to have for us
To let good kids get cancer.
Fuck god. Fuck his plan. It isn’t worth it
Innocent children die, who don’t deserve it.
“Only the good die young, so I’m bad as fuck”
