The Christian

Chorus:

It's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven

Didn't you forget the golden rule

You've been acting like jesus owes you a favor

But he's a little smart for you to fool



You complain how you forgets the gospel

You remind them seek and you shall find

Maybe youth will have a time for seeking

After they clean up what you left behind



Chorus:

'cause it's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven

Didn't you forget the golden rule

You've been acting like jesus owes you a favor

But he's a little smart for you to fool



You were right there when the plate was passed last sunday

That's the second time you've been to church all year

Could you really call yourself a christian

If charity cost half as much as beer

Hey



You pray a little more as you grow older

You get religion as your hair turns gray

But you don't need to worry about hereafter

Just worry what you're going to do today



Chorus:

'cause it's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven

Didn't you forget the golden rule

You've been acting like jesus owes you a favor

But he's a little smart for you to fool

Yes my friend i think you've blown your cool

Hey
