Lyrics
They say there’s pie up in the sky
They say there’s hell fire down below
I say the only thing that matters
Is how we live before we go
The universe yawns at me and you
It doesn’t give a damn what we do
It doesn’t notice when we’re born
Isn’t gonna miss us when we’re gone
The meaning of life is in our hearts
Not somewhere out in the great beyond
So let’s love one another
As the universe yawns
Look at the carnage we’ve created
In every holy war we’ve fought
Then look around at all the evil
We still do in the name of God
