lyrics

you gotta be dead to get to heaven
you gotta be six foot underground
you gotta be rotten & smellin
you got to not be around
you gotta have slaters up your nostrils
& those bacterias be turning you into slush
when you're just a heap of pollution
it's then you'll find the kingdom of god

so come all you brothers & sisters with me
& all you little children too
so come on & die & you will see
that jesus will do it for you

don't think that i'm a pessimist
cos that would be a lie
just read the bible
& jesus will teach you to die

you gotta be dead to get to heaven
you gotta be six foot underground
you gotta be rotten & smellin
you got to not be around
you gotta have slaters up your nostrils
& those bacterias be turning you into sod
when you're just a heap of pollution
it's then you'll find the kingdom of god
