lyrics

you won’t be riding hate up to heaven
thinking that the lord will let you in
forget excuses, forget repentance
you will go to hell for your earthly sins

first it was the jew
then it was the negro
now it is the queer
the’ll always be someone to blame for your fear

you won’t be riding hate up to heaven
thinking that the good lord will let you in
forget repentance, forget confession
you will go to hell for your earthly sins

you get the news from the same newspaper
telling you in black and white good and bad
you pay the man for your daily anger
he gives you words he knows you want to hear

you won’t be riding hate up to heaven
thinking that a merciful lord will let you in
forget confession, forget redemption
you will go to hell for your earthly sins

you say that you won’t have to pay the piper
that saying sorry makes it all okay
but you will face the fire on the day of judgment
for the lives you trashed along the way

you cannot ride hate up to heaven
thinking that new found faith will get you in
forget redemption, forget excuses
you will go to hell for your earthly sins
