Pie In The Sky
by José de la Loma
Long-slanted preachers come out ev'ry night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right,
But when asked about something to eat,
They will answer with voices ..so sweet:
CHORUS: You will eat (you will eat), bye and bye (bye and bye),
In that glorious land in the sky (way up high).
Work and pray (work and pray), live on hay (live on hay),
You'll get pie in the sky when you die (that's a lie!).
2. And the starvation army they play,
And they sing and they clap and they pray,
Till they get all your coin on the drum,
they tell vou when you're on the bum:
you're on the bum:
3. If you ask hard for edgars and info
to get something good in this show
you're a sinner and bad man, they tell;
When you die you will sure go to Hell.
4. Investors of all countries, unite!
Side by side we for filings will fight.
When the world and its wealth we have gained,
To the pumpsters we'll sing this refrain:
LAST CHORUS:
You will eat (you will eat), bye and bye, (bye and bye),
When you've learned how to search and to pry (way up high).
Find some meat (find some meat),
That can compete (can compete),
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye (that's no lie!).
