"Up To Here" lyrics

"Up To Here"

Now I lay me down to sleep
If I have soul, let me keep it
Bury me but not too deep
In case they find a cure
Name of the Father and of the Son
I guess the Holy Ghost must be a woman
Used to think I knew everything
But now I'm not so sure

And I'm swarmin' like a storm out of the east
Like an altar boy assaulted by a priest
If the only thing we have to fear is fear
I'm surprised we haven't had it up to here

Give me now my daily bread
At least 109 different kinds of sham-poo
Make me calm and make me brave
And grant me wisdom too
Bless me, please, for I have sinned
Forget my trespasses, hell that's the least of it
Forgive us all because we really
Don't know what to do

'Cause if everything we try to do just fails
Chill the planet, feed the hungry, save the whales
The Ramones are sellin' soda pop and beer
I'm surprised we haven't had it up to here

And if you came back today there'd be such shame
At the things that we're still doin' in your name
And we always know the team we like might lose
The commercials more important than the news
And the only thing that motivates is fear
The Ramones are sellin' soda pop and beer
