The ice was freezin' My brother almost drowned I jumped in to save him On his way, way down Then it went black and I went in Oh, what a wonderful life The angels told me he'd get his wish All my life was a twisted thing We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life You better keep on pushin' No matter how broke you are 'Cause I'm broke down and I'm bankrupt And you're ready to end it all We gonna have a good time Rockin' now to this beat Just keep rockin' to scoop the pain Oh, my God, here comes the pain Angel made me numb The angel made me void Got thrown out of the bar Then I wrecked my car Got socked in the jaw Cussed out by my mama Someone stole my money Screamed at by my honey Things was gettin' worse Things was gettin' worse Things was gettin' worse Things was gettin' worse We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life Come on y'all, let's boogie some more My brains just hit the floor We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life We gonna have a good life It's a wonderful life It's a great life It's a wonderful life It's a great life It's so wonderful It's fabulous Oh, what a life ! Oh, what a life ! Lord, Lord, what a life What a life, man, It's a great, great life Oh, I can't stand it, I can't stand this life Take me away, take me, take me Take me now, take me home It's a wonderful life, I'm going home Send me, to my great, great, great, GREAT life My wonderful, wonderful life

Slick Nick stole a reindeer from the Zoo Fell down my chimney with a keg of brew Put my dog out in the cold Ripped off the candy from my socks Smokin' cloves and drinkin' Scotch Slick Nick you devil you (Devil you, devil you) Slick Nick you devil you (Devil you, devil you) Dressed in red and overweight boot Stole the TV and the stereo And the toys The toys were broken too You devil you Slick Nick you devil you I saw Slick Nick fall over the X-mas tree He was a Whole different man from What mom and dad told me Spillin' Jack Daniels all over the drapes Spray-painting a bad finger over the fireplace Tatoos on his arms and knees I never thought Santa Claus Would be such a sleaze ! But... Slick Nick you devil you... Cussin' and coughin' and playin' punk-rock And every once in a while you'd just scratch your jock Hey ! Slick Nick, where are my toys ? You went drinking with the boys You put Mad Dog in my sock I wanted candy I wanted candy I wanted CANDY! Oh, Oh ! I thought you were my buddy and chum But you're just a downtown bum Instead of putting presents in front of my eyes You just told me a bunch of lies... Slick Nick you devil you... Santa Claus... Huh !

Iration 04:42
Aimlessly I walk the streets alone My eyes are tearful to the world around They have forgotten the joy of which it is to be kind They need your guidance for they are blind (So long) So long since they've heard your word (So long) So long since they've felt your hand (So long) So long since they seeked your love And their faces are twisted with the pain of living Their faces are twisted with the pain of living Teacher, teacher please understand Your stoic position won't save the land Although your job may seem miniscule Please guide the future so the good may rule Pastor, pastor on TV you teach Destroy the Lefties is the sermon you preach Destroy the Commies with a pen and a sword Forget to tell the glory of the savior's word (So long) So long have they heard your lies (So long) So long have they been mislead (So long) So long have they been confused And their faces are twisted with the pain of living Their faces are twisted with the pain of living Listen now as I say unto to you There is a love that will always be true Even in this abyss of sin He is-a buried alive in the hearts of men That's why I say... Iration! Jubilation! We have the foundation For a sovereign nation And its ruled by love Jesus Christ from above And the road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads Iration! Jubilation! We have the foundation For a sovereign nation And its ruled by love Jesus Christ from above And the road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads The road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads The road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads The road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads The road to Zion is the one he leads The road to Zion is the path he leads The ro-oad The ro-oad
