Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Holy Smoke lyrics

rate me

(Dicky Barrett/Joe Gittleman/Nate Albert/Dennis Brockenborough/Bosstones)

You made your bed, that's where you'll lie

No pearly gates when you die

We tried to teach, you didn't learn

You're going down, you're gonna burn

Fast at passing judgement and you're quick to cast a stone

Hypocrite talking shit, leave me alone

Thump the book and twist the word

You're setting sinners straight

Point your finger, wag your tongue

then pass around the plate

I've made my bed that's where I'll lie,

Won't see the gates when I die

And I've been told I'll never learn,

I'm going down I'm gonna...

Screaming demons all hell broke loose

and other dark remarks

You say that's Satan's waiting for me

but I don't give a fuck

If words and music tick you off

then you're the one who's sick

But I think it's fucking followers that really make you tick

As far as I can tell, I'm going to hell

As far as I know, it's where I'm gonna go

As far as I can tell, I'm going to hell

As far as I can see, you're coming with me

You made your bed that's where you'll lie

No pearly gates when you die

We tried to teach, you didn't learn

You're going down, you're gonna burn

Holy smoke! is this a joke?

I mean man you're on the move,

Shut 'em up and shut 'em down

If you don't approve

Cuss and curse and stuff your purse

And tell me where I'm goin'

Holy cow, man, don't stop now, man,

Your bank account is growin'

You made you're bed that's where you'll lie

No pearly gates when you die

We tried to teach, you didn't learn

You're going down, you're gonna burn

You made your bed that's where you'll lie

Thanks God I've got a place to sleep

No pearly gates when you die,

why should I worry now or cry

We tried to teach, you didn't learn

You know I'm really not concerned

You're going down, you're gonna burn
