lyrics

How do we get to heaven
If we're building hell on earth
Killing the ones who need us
Putting them in the dirt

How do we get to heaven
After a life of sin
The angel that guards the gates
Knows where we have been

They say the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
But what about us heathens
Whose motives aren't so pure

If there's a life beyond this
Perhaps we will not see it
But if you get into heaven
I'll be just outside the door

How do we get to heaven
Holding all these guns
There's a difference between protection
And killing everyone
