Hell Lyrics
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And baked into cakes which are passed around
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
Beauty, talent, fame, money
refinement, job skill and brain
And all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
Now the D and A and the M and the N
And the A and the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
And get fitted for a suit of flames
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And baked into cakes which are passed around
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
refinement, job skill and brain
And all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
And the A and the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
And get fitted for a suit of flames

One of my favorite streetlight strongs. Seems to be poking fun at religions who preach about hell.
It's actually a cover of Squirrel Nut Zippers. All the songs off that album are covers.
