Everyone come together

making no kind of sense

and these thoughts that i cling to

they're going to harm my defence

i'll throw rocks at the devil with my faith wearing thin

but i won't scream down st peter when he don't let me in


i will work like a pack horse

every hour of the day

i will drink like a preacher

oh make these spirits go away

i will sing like an angel with an ear for a sin

but i won't scream down st peter when he don't let me in


so when i'm gone will you miss me?

yes i'm sure that you will

when i'm far from the terror

and the lies and the kill

but there is nothing so deadly as the forces of right

or some fool with a shotgun in a house painted white


so ain't it hard now my brother

to try and do what you should

when the shameless and the wicked

they dress the same as the good

my intentions are honest though my chances are slim

so i won't scream down st peter when he don't let me in


so everyone come together

making no kind of sense

and these words that i cling to

can only harm my defence

i've embraced imperfection it's alright not to win

but i won't scream down st peter when he don't let me in

i won't scream down st peter when he don't let me in
