Alleluia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ron and Nancy got the house, but Sid and Nancy rule
I died eight years ago, I'm still a legend at my high school
I stole a Chevy and I wrapped it 'round a tree
But that's okay 'cause no one's gonna make the next century
I'm up in heaven now they said I'm here to stay
Where the clouds are really puffy and the angels sing every day

[Chorus]
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Ah–

[Verse 2]
The cafeteria's got everything, it's gonna drive you mad
'Cause it looks just like a big Hawaiian party that my mother had
It's like the worst Elvis film I've ever seen
Technicolor luau all on technicolor green
There's camping trips and donkey rides and singing 'round the fire
And they signed me up for surfing
But they can't get me in the choir

[Chorus]
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Ah–

[Verse 3]
But there she was this morning getting fitted for her wings
Leather boots, magenta hair, and saying nasty things
I'd say she was an angel, but it's stupid and it's obvious
I said "You'll hate it here 'cause we're the only ones like us"
It's crypto-fascist mania, it's silicon deliria
"Yeah," she said, "You're right, but I like the cafeteria"

[Bridge]
Hey God, we're the bad kids, we're so nasty mean and vile
God looks like a guidance counselor, God's got that smile
God says, "How could this be? That's really odd
I guess I'll have to check my records
Silly me, you know, I'm only God"

[Chorus]
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
Ah–

[Verse 4]
The waves are perfect and the sun will always shine
But there's got to be more to death than surfing all the time
I know the signs of self-destruction so I try to stop each new kid
Don't be like me, forever young, forever stupid
Yeah, I found love here, but I'll bet you'll find it there
Where they don't always make the same joke
"Gee, you make a heavenly pair"

[Chorus]
Alleluia
