Bank of Elevators

Checking in?
What’s the last name?
Just a sec, a note just came for you…
Sorry, we’ve got a problem…
It appears that your inclination
To end the lives of your fellow countrymen
Has made it tough to admit you
To the right, if you’d like, is a door to the bottom
Of the world — Where you go if you feel lost or forgotten
Oh, we know that it’s not at all an ideal system
But the man at the top is just too busy to listen
To the left is a sort of way station
Where you wait if you don’t accept your fate
So take your time, we’ll be waiting
I’ll add a note and we’ll call you —
But I can say a reply to
Complaints can take a century longer
Or, if you’d like, you can do us a particular favor —
Just consent, sign your name here on the back of this waiver
I admit that it’s not the most attractive of wagers
But compared to who you’re dealing with you’re certainly braver
To the right that’s where the bad guys go all alone
And to the left that’s where the old lost souls say hello
And so alright, have you made your mind up yet?
We’ll send you back but you’re on a mission:
Who sent you here didn’t have the guts to face
The fucking fact that they’d chosen
To spend forever in torment —
Bring em back for their descent to hell
Is that a task you can handle?
You’ll be equipped with the superpowers usually given
To the bodyguards protecting all the angels in heaven
When you’re done, see me here and we’ll discuss compensation —
If there’s something I can say, it’s we’re especially patient
To the right that’s where the bad guys go all alone
And to the left that’s where the old lost souls
Say hello and so alright, take your time
You’ll be equipped with the superpowers usually given
To the bodyguards protecting all the angels in heaven
When you’re done, see me here and we’ll discuss compensation —
If there’s something I can say, it’s we’re especially patient
