about

The words the protagonist speaks do not reflect my own religious views. I wrote this in 2003 when Magda was writing songs about her Buddhist beliefs; I just thought it’d be fun to take things from the fundamentalist angle. For further info, read Rob Bell's 'Love Wins'.

lyrics

You may be black or you may be white it doesn’t matter
You may be wrong or you may be right He doesn’t care about that kind of thing
You may be good or you may be bad it doesn’t matter
You may be happy you may be sad but how you feel ain’t gonna save your skin

Because you’ll never get to heaven, you’ll never get to heaven
You know you’re never gonna get in
You can live under illusions or speculate solutions
But the only way to save your soul is to give it to Him

You may be straight or you may be gay it doesn’t matter
You may like to work or you may like to play He doesn’t care about that kind of thing
You may be rich or you may be poor it doesn’t matter
You may be at peace or you may be at war but only one thing’s gonna save your skin

Because you’ll never get to heaven, you’ll never get to heaven
You know you’re never gonna get in
You can live under illusions or speculate solutions
But the only way to save your soul is to give it to Him
