Relax, Enjoy Yourself Lyrics

[LORD]
When I'm feeling down
Worried about every little thing
I take a look around
And this is what I say:

Relax, enjoy yourself
It's only a glorious game
There's fruit trees growin' in an open field
And wild roses bloomin' down a country lane
Look around, old chum
Slow it down, old chum
For you never will succeed
You never will succeed
Relax, enjoy yourself
It's all just a wonderful game
There are rivers and forests, and mountains high
There's the deep green ocean and the pale blue sky
Let it go, and then
You will know, old friend
That you never will succeed
You never will succeed

[DEVIL]
Oh no. Look, I uh--

[LORD]
Relax, enjoy yourself
It's all just a wonderful game
There are rivers and forests, and mountains high
There's the deep green ocean and the pale blue sky
Let it go, and then
You will know, old friend
That you never will succeed
You never will succeed

[ANGEL CHILD]
It must be very trying to be bad all the time
Vicious and cruel and mean
When there's so much beauty
All round us to be seen
And so very little time in which to see it all
And feel it all
So little time
Perhaps when you were little
No one held you in their arms
And told you that they loved you very much
Perhaps you were embittered
By your fall from Grace

[DEVIL]
How long have you been dead?

[ANGEL CHILD]
Two Months

[DEVIL]
Do you miss your friends?

[ANGEL CHILD]
Yes, I miss them
I've tried to make friends here, but it's hard

[DEVIL]
You were a good girl
Cut down in your pride

[ANGEL CHILD]
Yes

[DEVIL]
The man who shot you in the head
In that Burger King in Tucson
Well, he never will be punished, you know
He will move to Big Pine, California
Become the richest man in Mono County
While that may not be much, it's enough
When he dies
Sixty-five years from today
With his loved ones all around him
He'll be whisked right up to heaven
He won't pass go or have to wait
He'll just march right through the God-damned gate
And why
You may ask yourself why
For thousands and thousands of years
I have asked myself why

[LORD]
Faith
Contrition
Sincere contrition
Confession
Sincere confession

[ANGELS]
Yes Lord. Yes Lord

[LORD]
Redemption
Absolution

[LORD & ANGELS]
Those who seek Me shall find Me

[LORD]
In the case of this man
Predestination

[LORD & ANGELS]
My ways are mysterious
Sometimes even to myself
My ways are mysterious

[DEVIL]
Relax, old chum, relax
It's only a glorious game that we're playing
And in a few more years
When I move up here
Things will never be the same
Same. Give it to me
Same. Give it to me. Thank you
Same
