whatever I have coming to me

no matter how dark and crushing


I'd rather be dead and out of this life

and so begin yet again...


for whatever sins God will squeeze out penance

with his merciless vengeance


I'd rather be dead and out of this life

and so begin again


because God is unforgiving

why must I be also?


I'd rather be dead and out of this life

and so begin again


so what if God cares about us only as slaves

to his power-madness?


I'd rather be dead and out of this life

and so begin again


so what if God acts like a common gangster

beating acquiescence out of us for his vanity's sake


I'd rather be dead and out of this life

and so begin again....
