Heaven Was A Letdown

Now we're in the grips Of an empire that insists On crushing the human spirit In the name of piousness A barren promised land Where the guilty and the damned Impaled by rusty railroad pins To bind their dirty hands What will become of the sinners? What will become of the winners? What if heaven's just a letdown? What if heaven's just a lie? A little fib we tell ourselves To keep the worst of us in line The world you were born in It no longer exists And no amount of recreating the 90s Will bring you any happiness The world you were born in Was never for you It was all for the few The white the pure of virtue What if heaven's just a letdown? What if earth is all we get? And there's no afterparty Sitting on a cloud with your dead pets What if it's just darkness? No matter how loud you are you'll never know Your dogma your stigma Casts the longest shadow And you'll still never know
