Paroles de 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 right now, you're gonna have to wait So, sit back and take it easy Yeah, kick off all your shoes Grab yourself a beer right now while I watch the evening news Well, the jackals leave here laughin' as they slip into the night How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight? So, what makes 'em all so stupid? Oh, what I cannot tell Maybe I should go down there, son, and show 'em just a little hell But would they get the message? Would anybody learn? How such a mighty effort would make such a small return Well, the jackals leave here laughin' as they slip into the night How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight? Sometimes I get so angry That my blood begins to boil I must have put my seed into some kind of mutant soil They don't understand a thing They ain't got no respect But they sure do keep me laughin', man, so, what the heck 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
