One I wrote this morning. Recording quality still sucks, as per usual, but I’m pretty happy with it.

If I Meet St. Peter

If I meet saint peter

At the pearly gates

I guess he’ll either step aside

Or maybe he’ll just laugh right in my face either way

If I meet saint peter

And he steps back and waves

I guess I’ll smile and say thanks

But I’m not staying anyway

Set me back down

On solid ground

This close the clouds look fake

Lemme waste away

In my hometown 

That’s where I’d rather be anyway

Send me back down

For one more round

This just ain’t my place

If I meet saint peter

At the pearly gates

And I get my wings and get a say

That means God’s real

And heaven has to wait

If I meet saint peter

Then so did RFK

So why was the dream he shared with MLK

Called away before we changed

If I meet saint peter

I’ve got some things to say

Like where the fuck’s Your Father’s Son

We needed him there today

They built a church today

On the street outside I watched an old man starved today

But I don’t see him here 

Oh that’s right he was gay

Set me back down

On solid ground

This close the clouds look fake

Lemme waste away

In my hometown 

That’s where I’d rather be anyway

Send me back down

For one more round

This just ain’t my place

If I meet saint peter

At the pearly gates

And I get my wings and get a say

That means God’s real

And heaven has to wait

There’re more important things to do today
