lyrics

I'M BUILDING A LADDER

I'M BUILDING A LADDER
I HOPE THAT THAT MATTERS
AS FOR THE FALL OF MAN, LET ME DROP THE BOMB
'EVERYTHING IS IN THE HANDS OF GOD'

I'M CLIMBING OVER A GOLDEN CHAIN-LINK FENCE
'GIVE MARTYRDOM OR GIVE ME DEATH'
YOU GOTTA TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD, SEE
IT AIN'T ANY BETTER THAN IT SHOULD BE

I'M ORDERING PAY-PER-VIEW GRATIFICATION
IMPATIENTLY DEMANDING INSTANT SALVATION
A PIE IN THE SKY, A BUCKET WITH A HOLE
WHEN I DIE I'LL DONATE MY SOUL

I'M ASKING WHAT FATE WE PREVENT
MY LAST WORDS UP ON THE MARQUEE
AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO REPENT
BUT I SURE AM SORRY
