this song is a cover, originally by Jack Palance Band, purveyors of "region rock", best band to ever come out of the south... their only album "Get This Shit Underway" is essential, get it!
lyrics
"I wish there was a heaven but only for the poor. And the rich could not get inside, yeah I'd be guarding the fuckin' door. Up there in heaven, everything'd be sane, and the streets would not be made of gold so there wouldn't be that kind of fucking pain. No one in need, not in real heaven. And if I saw the god they told me about when I was a kid, I'd punch him in the face for letting his children bleed. Up there in heaven, I hope there is a heaven, I wish there was a heaven.... but only for the poor. And the rich could not get inside, I'd be guarding the fucking door. Up there in heaven, everything'd be sane, and the streets would not be made of gold so tehre wouldn't be that kind of fucking pain. AND EVERYBODY WHO GOT A RAW DEAL AND DIED IN THE STREET WOULD FEEL LOVED BY SOMEONE. And if I saw the god they told me about when I was a kid I'd punch him in the face, for letting his children bleed"
