Everybody Must Get Slain

(Tune: Everybody Must Get Stoned [Bob Dylan])

They'll slay you when

... when you hear the worship band

... when you pray and raise your hands

... when you're living in denial

... you're walking down the aisle

Well, I would not want to feel inane

Everybody must get slain

They'll slay you when

... when you’re outside in the line

... when they catch you from behind

... when your shaking your neck

... when you least expect

Well I would not want to miss that latter rain

Everybody must get slain

They'll slay you when

... when you wipe a eary eye,

... when you try to say "Good Bye"

... when you're trying to say, "No"

... when you really have to go (I mean bad)

WelI would not want you to complain

Everybody must get slain

They'll slay you when

... they're taking up the offering

... you're laying in the coffin

....you're sitting in the pew

... you try to say "I do"

Well I would not want to miss that train

Everybody must get slain

Well,

You'll fake when you feeling left out

You'll fake or the rest who look about

You'll fake it when they push you of your feet

You'll fake it whe you're sleeping in the seat

Well I would not want to feel alone again

Everybody must get slain
