Select language to translate this lyric
We were anxious for our prayers to be answered
But our angels were distracted and so slow
We were hoping for a few quick fixes
But we found ourselves still down in the hole
Now weâre thinking that our prayers arenât answered
âCuz when it came the answer was âNoâ
We were begging for some kind of protection
And for a change in our dark circumstances
We were walking down the miracle mile when
We chalked it up to happenstance
As the same rock we stood on crushed us
And we called it a coincidence
There may be no heaven, no, no, no
There may be no hell, no
There may be no place to go, but
Weâll all know soon enough
If what your mother said was true
Though Old Testament and cruel
Did she serve you one too many drinks of the hard, hard stuff?
Well, weâll all know soon enough
Weâll all know soon enough
Thereâs the same old man down on the corner
He cries âRepent, you fools, the end is near!â
Heâs just a mean old man with a bible in his hands
Out peddling his dose of fear.
So why should we take his big bitter pill
And wash it down with a bucket of our tears
