[00:07.68]I’ll see you at the weighing in
[00:11.04]When your life’s sum-total’s made.
[00:16.49]And you set your wealth in godly deeds
[00:20.34]Against the sins you’ve laid.
[00:25.48]So place your final burden
[00:28.91]On your hard-pressed next of kin:
[00:32.77]Send the chamber pot back down the line
[00:36.55]To be filled up again.
[00:41.66]Take your mind off your election
[00:45.42]And try to get it straight.
[00:48.95]And don’t pretend perfection —
[00:52.43]You’ll be crucified too late.
[01:10.52]And he’ll say you really should make the deal
[01:17.05]As he offers round the hat.
[01:20.70]Well, you’d better lick your fingers clean, I thank you all for that.
[01:29.90]And as you join the good ship earth
[01:33.31]And you mingle with the dust
[01:37.02]Be sure to leave your underpants
[01:40.63]With someone you can trust.
[01:44.19]And the hard-headed social worker who bathes his hands in blood
[01:53.18]Will welcome you with arms held high
[01:56.77]And cover you with mud.
[02:01.85]And he’ll say you really should make the deal
[02:05.20]As he offers round the hat.
[02:09.03]Well, you’d better lick your fingers clean, I thank you all for that.
