A meditation on the many mass shooting events in the US. The narrator suggests that, since it seems inevitable that they will be killed in a shooting spree anyway, they would prefer to be shot in church thus hastening their ascent to heaven.
[Verse 1]
Please Mr. Gunman
Before you go out on your spree
Please Mr. Gunman
I'd like to make a humble request
Before you kill us, dead forever
Please Mr. Gunman, consider our after-life
[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
[Verse 2]
At the mall
We'll consume our material things
In our school
We're learning evolution
Inside the nightclub, we are drunk with pleasure
[Bridge]
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
In church on Sunday
We're ready to go to heaven
[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
[Guitar Solo]
Please Mr. Gunman
Since there's no stopping you
Please Mr. Gunman
Don't be an inconsiderate prick
[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
Nearer my God, to thee
