"Heaven" lyrics

"Heaven"

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded
By a logjam of children floating face-down in fours
We have names for these people

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded
By a gun at the window
A flag at the door
The children are sending
Young mothers to war
They run, ask their father
What killing is for
But... he's watching a movie

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded
By a million excuses
To further the cause
Of basic injustice

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded
By a nation that worships
Its bankers and thieves
And the kind of illusion
An imbecile weaves
Their most powerful weapon
Is called the TV
They say "that's entertainment"

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded

I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven

Hey, this is heaven

I'm in heaven
And I'm surrounded

I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven

Hey, this is heaven
