BEEN THERE DONE THAT
BEEN THERE DONE THAT
I met a long haired hippie
whose past has taught him well
He pulled himself from the bottom
and freed himself from hell
An Angel burning in a fire
his broken wings of lead
They held him down Left him bound
A life embraced with dread
He asked THE LORD to give him death
and let his wings decay
There's nothing left a helpless man
the hell if he will pray
I'm on this earth for just one thing
to take the world with me
You see I'll suffer to my death
till then seek misery
Come with me to my hell
and snort a line of coke
I'll roll a joint that never ends
from dusk till dawn we'll smoke
Lord I'll ask you one more time
I have no more to tell
The LORD just cried "OH SON" he said
I'll lift you from this hell
Your wings of life renewed again
come walk with me awhile
No time to stop your journey now
you've walked so many miles
Teach the things that you possess
give your life to me
If just to change one life on earth
you've done my destiny
You lived the pain and felt insane
what better way to teach
When people cry and ask you why
you've practiced what you'll preach
Now take your knowledge
Spread the word be honest and commit
My son you see there's no one
that can say you hypocrite
You've lived the pain and felt insane
and felt the burning fires
Your wings decayed had dying days
Now teach your new desires
Inspired by our Lord
