A rich man and a poor man stood face to face 
the poor man said to the rich man can I have a piece of 
cake 
The rich man just laughed and threw his dog the crumbs 
and the poor man stood hungry as the rich man's dog ate 

The rich man died and went to hell 
and the poor man died and went to heaven 
And the rich man cried a night in pain 
can I have a drink of water I'm going in an everlasting 
plain 

The poor man stood ashore and sighed 
there was no way to get to the other side 
The rich man bit his lip and cried 
he said I wish my soul could die 

because he was just a stupid animal he didn't know 
wrong from right 
he was just a stupid animal 

Well the poor man and the rich man's dog sat eating 
cake 
with chocolate ice cream and soilent stake 
And the rich man said for heaven's sake 
and his skin burned in a fire lake 

The rich man said maybe I was wrong 
I guess I was just a low life scum 
And I'll suffer now for evermore 
and my suffering will never be done 

I wish I had been a better man 
he sat wishing 
and he burned and he burned and he burned 
and he wished he had been a better man
