They Told Me

When I was little\nI’d go to heaven\nIf I was good\n(They told me) it might take my whole life\nTo absorb what was right\nOr ignore it to fight\nFor these whores in these tights\nOr these boardroom types telling me that I might\nNeed to pour my whole life\nInto chores I dislike\nFor the right to recite\nHow much money that I got\nHow much money that I’m not\nGonna make\nIf I take\nLeap of faith\nWill I make\nDecent wage?\nProlly not\nBut I’m not\nGonna stop\nGonna do it for my pops\n'Til they choke me off with a knot\nAnd pop me off in a box\nAnd drop me off at a plot\nAnd top me off with a rock\nMy body is gonna rot\n(They told me) that I’ll soon see the light\nIf I like it or not\nThats the icing on top of the birthday cake that is baked\nFor a tot\nSo he’s taught\nTo count the days til he drops\n(They told me) not to fear living for eternity\nBut, not even Heaven seemed pleasant it was burning me\nRaised with peasants in the crescents we were shadows\nWhen reality television was watching adults\nAnd, throughout the comedy was drama and alot of pain\nAnd that sentence it would run on 'til the comma came\nUntil the eulogy and usually my mama sang\nAbout the pheasants and presence we no longer claim\n(they told me) that Heaven is forever\nBut at times I’d find myself thinking I’d rather never\nLived, I mean, my life was like a dream\nI had everything I wanted but, that ain’t all it seems\nFor… all the time in the world\nLive eternal in inferno or in Eden with the squirrels\nNo brainer, it’s that, I was feeling like Lestat\nAnd the thought of forevermore was feeling like a trap\nAll it brought, was more of the same, people in flames\nA reality television channel that never changes\nLost in the confusion of 7 billion strangers\nScared to hope Heaven won’t have a touch of the same
