Idiot's Delight |
Well I met up with Saint Peter, he was working at the pearly gates
He said I can't let you in now, son, you're going to have to wait
So just sit back and take it easy and kick off both your shoes
And grab yourself a beer while I watch the evening news
Well the jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight
He said what makes them all so stupid, well what I cannot tell
Maybe I should go down there and show them just a little hell
How would they get the message, how would anybody learn
Such a mighty effort for such a small return
Now the jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight
Idiot's delight
Take it, rhythm! whoa!
Well the jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight
Idiot's delight
He said sometimes I get so angry, my blood begins to boil
I must of put my seed into some mutant type of soil
They don't understand a thing and they ain't got no respect
But they sure do keep me laughing man, so what the heck
And the jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night
How something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight
Idiot's delight
Idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Idiot's delight, come on, yeah! (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
It's idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Whoa whoa (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Well yeah (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Ha ha ha (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Yeah yeah yeah (hoo-hoo-hoo)
It's idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
It's idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
It's idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Whoa idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Whoa whoa idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Hoo hoo-hoo (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Idiot's delight (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Yeah (hoo-hoo-hoo)
