Here on Earth

Here on earth are the real pearly gates

Protecting those inside from everything they hate

Like other human beings

Who are not so keen on material worth

Here on earth

The rich like to bleed the poor

They could feed people with fallen fruit

But they prefer to load their guns and shoot

We are all in the game show now

And the other side of life

Lives a sacrificial cow

And a milking trophy wife

Here on earth

The castles still have moats

Keeping out the peasants

With gunmen on the boats

This is the new kingdom

The one where no one votes
