"Agnostic Preacher's Lament" lyrics
"Agnostic Preacher's Lament"
Oh heavenly father if you are up there and I hope you are I come to you this morning with a bit of a situation you see I made some pretty bold claims about our relationship, and now I have what I guess you could call a congregation
Now I don't even know if you exist and if you don't, that's your business still though, if you could, just hear me out on this I promised a lot of people I would be appealing to you on their behalf and now I am not even sure what to say one thing I know for sure, is that everybody here wants there to be a heaven or like an after thing, and don't kill the messenger here, but everybody is also really hoping for the after thing to be better than this thing and it's not because we don't love this thing, we could live here forever, which I'll get to later, but first we'd like an after, and we'd like it to be better
Also, there are people here that none of us can get along with and we don't want them at the after thing someone even suggested they should have an after thing that's worse lol
Mainly though everybody just wants to succeed at everything they try live forever and never die that's it in a nutshell really succeed at everything we try live forever and never die that's the thing everyone agrees on succeed at everything they try live for ever and never die on that we are unanimous succeed at everything we try live forever and never die and if that's too much to ask heaven will be fine oh also, I took a ton a money from these people and they are starting to ask questions so you know forgive me or whatever
