I AINT GOIN NOWHERE !!

Great news to Australian folk--The Pope is arriving in Australia next week for World Youth Day.Well,I say good news- rather sarcastic of me.All heathens like me have been told to stay the hell away from Sydney City-don't drive your car,infact we've been told to leave town--take a holiday.People that work in the area are having one hell of a time getting to work--Randwick Race track,where the great event is to be held,has been devoid of horses for weeks--something like $200,000,000 of public money has been spent on the day--when a poor bloody pensioner can't get a $5 a week increase-All for one church---now,good luck to them,and I'm sure it will be a great event--I just wonder if the head of any other church would get the same treatment---well,they wouldnt.
Which brings me to life after death,I'm very confused.--Catholic,Church Of England,Muslim--all those flavours--Heaven-- Hell---70 virgins when you die--no thanks (it amazes me how 70 virgins could be regarded as a reward--70 "you really do love me don't you?"s"--70 "was that a good for you as it was for me"----or something I've become used to "is that all there is to it ?"-------so after much thought I've decided not to die--------infact,

I AINT GOIN NOWHERE

They say good guys go to heaven,
and bad guys? well they don't.
So,we spend our lives treading broken glass
thinking will I or I wont?
But me,I'm in the middle
I've loved girls,drank lots of beer,
But,I help little ladies cross the road
so,I think I'm best left here.

Well I aint goin to heaven
and I sure won't go to hell.
I'll be staying here on earth
and you can stay as well.
The Devil don't appeal to me
with fire,and all those things.
Flying makes me air sick
So,shove those Angels wings.

You'll not find me in a box,
in a church and all that trash.
Don't put me six feet under
or turn my bones to ash.
Cause I aint goin nowhere,you see
this is the life for me.
So,Lord I'm staying here on Earth
and the Devil,let me be.

No flowers at a grave side
no balloons or flying doves.
No sloppy songs that make folk cry
about never dying love.
No talk,of Hell or Heaven
or need for being sad.
Cause I'm staying here forever
be me rotten good or bad.

Well I aint goin to heaven
and I sure won't go to hell.
I'll be staying here on Earth
and you can stay as well.
The Devil don't appeal to me
with fire,and all those things.
Flying makes me air sick
So you can shove those Angel wings,

I said "flying makes me air sick
so,you can shove those Angel wings."
