Lyrics:
It’s true we’re not as sharp now.
We dream about the past past.
Years just keep on flying by.
It’s never seemed so fast.
Think about eternity.
How’d you like to spend it?
If you opt to scoff at God
Lucifer can end it.
No longer can we juggle
The tasks we used to face.
It’s gotten pretty easy
keeping mattresses in place.
Understand.. eternity.
It means a long, long time.
Beelzebub would love to keep
you toiling in his grime.
But nowwhile I’’m still with it
I’m moving’. but i’m not trottin’,
I’d like to stay productive,
and not be forgotten.
One’s relevance is crucial
to staying on the track.
This train is moving forward.
It’s never coming back.
Hey!! The time is getting short.
You should pay attention.
Satan offers tempting treats.
Price tags he won’t mention.
Dear God please give me courage
to face the final bell.
Just yank me straight to Heaven.
Don’t let me burn in Hell.
Concepts like infinity
are difficult to grasp
Plan now for the afterlife.
Don’t kiss the devil’s ass.
