I Don't Wanna Go To Heaven. By Nancy Gauquier.


Evidently, Donald Rumsfeld, Bolton, Condoleeza Rice,
Dick Cheney, Bush and his whole family,
are all going to Heaven, evidently,
God is really into mass murder
and the plundering of the poor,
the destruction of the earth
and every species on it,
which, they say, he created;
why he wants them in Heaven
after they have left such a mess
on Earth is beyond me,
I think this God dude is totally crazy,
if you don't think this dude was heavy
into S/M, just check out
The Passion of the Christ,
he gives me the willies, but

evidently, Heaven is a tax shelter
for the rich,
you can buy a lot in Heaven
from your local evangelist,
but I don't wanna go there,
I don't even wanna visit,
I spend most of my time
avoiding these people,
these people are mean,
these people are a CIA torturer's
wet dream, I'm sure not gonna go
outa my way to meet them,
evidently, Donald Rumsfeld, Bolton, Condoleeza Rice,
Dick Cheney, Bush and his whole family,
are all going to Heaven,
this Heaven sounds like
one terrifying neighborhood to me,

all surrounded with barbed wire,
or maybe it's like the Green Zone
or the White House, seemingly
unrelated to the misery around it,
but really the cause of it all.
I don't think you can even fit into Heaven
unless your mind is very small,
I'd rather go to Hell, and dance like crazy
to Jimi Hendrix and Janis, and Kurt Cobain,
I don't get off on bombs of pain
and the murder of civil rights,
all in the name of Pharmacia,
Tyson, ConAgra, Ford, Bank of America,
Chevron, GM, Lockheed Martin*,
and let's not forget Halliburton,
what off earth could be worse -
than Heaven?
