If We Ever Get To Heaven Lyrics

I know every generation

Says the world is getting worse

And we shudder in the shadow

Of the valley of the curse

Where the night is growing darker

And the earth is getting warm

And the heart gets harder

In the locust swarm

If we ever get to heaven

Whatcha gonna do?

I think it's too much singing

For a boy like you

There go the ten o' clock sirens

A couple howling wolves

Everybody keeps sighing

There goes the neighborhood

Where the deaths toll is climbing

And the sky is heating up

And the heart gets harder

So it don't get crushed

And if we ever get to heaven

Whatcha gonna say?

Jesus I reckon you slept in that day

How many doves you gonna slaughter?

How many graves we gonna dig?

How many thoughts and prayers will you offer

Before you admit

It was never about the children

When there's wars to be won

And there's ground to be gained

In the name of the holy kingdom of the gun

But if you ever get to heaven

Take a look around the place

God took your AK-47s

And he turned them into spades

And he's been planting some lilies

In the killing fields

While we're all still waiting

For our wounds to heal

If we ever get to heaven

If we ever get to heaven

If we ever get to heaven
