| It’s a glorious feeling
|
| I’m up on my feet again
|
| God gave up on the human race
|
| He said based upon the data that I’ve had to face
|
| You’ve really made a mess of the place that I’ve made for you
|
| And then you turn around and you ask me to save you
|
| Jews blame the Christians, Christians the Muslims
|
| Atheists admitted they were wrong but right
|
| The pope said, well, I guess that’s that then
|
| Collectively we all breathe out a sigh
|
| All of the damage that religion had done
|
| Was put into perspective underneath the sun
|
| And God said faith is a beautiful thing
|
| But it’s time for you to take responsibility kids
|
| Cause I don’t know what you’ve been told
|
| But the streets of heaven aren’t lined with gold
|
| You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
|
| It’s a glorious feeling
|
| I’m up on my feet again
|
| The human race gave up on god
|
| And said it’s high time that we all got along
|
| The arguments about who the hell she loved best
|
| Were seen for what they were and laid to rest
|
| And politicians stopped using God as an excuse
|
| To commit the most blatant abuse of power
|
| Loud like ringing in the ears
|
| The sounds of the prayers of the cheers
|
| From the people released
|
| All baptized at the miracle of life
|
| Without the regrets and the guilt and the threats
|
| Sex was celebrated, life was embraced
|
| The basic thing was maintain respect
|
| And I don’t know what you’ve been told
|
| But the streets of heaven aren’t lined with gold
|
| You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
|
| On the streets of the cities of the world you find them
|
| People of all types who climb the horizon
|
| Fresh newborn’s and the fresh new morning
|
| Lovers in the night who fly and then fall
|
| The march of survivors, designers, tyrants, messiahs, limousine drivers
|
| Colonels, brigadiers, sergeants, privates
|
| The scientists smashing particles together
|
| The junkies, the tradies, the gentlemen, the ladies, the babies
|
| The aged and infirm, the hermits, the perverts, the servants, the surgeons
|
| The insurgents killing in the name of god
|
| The slow and the steady who were ready for anything
|
| The war on the menacing, and even center-link
|
| And the ones who were pedaling stories
|
| Of the grace and the glory
|
| It’s a glorious feeling
|
| I’m up on my feet again |
