Pay your taxes, send your faxes
Wash your hands and mend your fences
Conversations, limitations, speculation at the stations
Pay to Caesar what is Caesar's
All the meat inside your freezer
I've been waving to the neighbors, I've been looking for the answers
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
♪
Do your drugs and pray to Jesus
Brush your teeth and take your meetings
Revelations, compensation
Memories of masturbation
Tell the reaper to come meet us in the library of congress
I'll be sitting with Johanna
We'll be smoking marijuana
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
♪
Watch the stars and watch your drinking
Go for walks and find religion
Recovering the simple dreams of modern men in stretch jeans
Tell your lover that you love her
Hold her hand when you discover
That dreams are meant for dreaming
And life is meant for living
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
♪
Be a whore and be a miser
Tie your shoes and be a liar
Memories of simple things and pretty girls in magazines
Any fool can speak the truth when he's screaming from a roof
I'll be pushing through the mire
'Cause God loves a trial
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
Say a prayer for mama's wears
And here's to hoping that you get out alive
