Go to Hell

Lyrics

Now I truly am a God-lovin', God-fearin' person
 And all my life I've fought that battle between good and evil
 As most of us do, the spirit is willin', but the flesh is weak
 It's like I got the Devil on my left shoulder
 And have an Angel on the right one
 And it depends on the day and the situation
 As to which side I favour most, huh
 Now, I'm not a bad person
 But I've always been just a little too good to be really bad
 And a little too bad to be really good, if you know what I mean
 But if I do lean just a little too far to the left
 It scares the holy water out o' me
 And I try to straighten up just quick as I can
 And get myself back line
 Now, there certainly is a lot o' evil out there in this world today
 We see it all around us all the time, but I still see a lot o' good
 And it is my belief that the good is always gonna win out
 Don'tcha just hate the Devil?
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go back where you belong
 Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me the Hell alone
 Take your wars and your politics, your lust and your greed
 And go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 ♪
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go back where you belong
 Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
 You're a cheat, you're a liar, you're a scoundrel and a thief
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 Oh I tried hard to conquer my fears and my doubts
 But everywhere I turn I see your evil doin's all about
 I have suffered your sorrow, your heartache and grief
 You keep dealing me a bad hand with a trick card up your sleeve
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go back where you belong
 Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
 Take all of your bad guys, your demons and flee
 Go to Hell in a handbasket, heaven's calling me
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 Oh, I know I'm no angel, but I'm better than that
 And God is still my hero, and he can knock you flat
 There is nothing but sorrow in that wicked place that you dwell
 Take your pain and your misery and go straight to Hell
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go back where you belong
 Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
 Take your drugs and your alcohol, your vices and leave
 Go to Hell in a handbasket, just get away from me
 Go to Hell (go to Hell), go to Hell (go to Hell)
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 My brothers and my sisters (ah)
 I'm here to tell you that Satan is real (ah)
 He is real and walking around amongst us trying to destroy everything that's good and beautiful (ah)
 He wants to break our hearts and minds (ah)
 Destroy our dreams and plans (ah)
 He wants to tear us up in little pieces, break us down and send us straight to Hell (Oh, my God)
 Ah-ha, you said a mouthful brother
 Oh, my God. Oh, my God can do anything (ah)
 My God can heal the sick (ah)
 Mend broken hearts and take our souls to heaven (ah)
 So Satan, listen up (ah)
 In God's name I rebuke you (ah)
 I stand up in his name, look you in the eye and laugh in your ugly face (ha, ha, ha)
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go back where you belong
 Get thee behind me Satan, just leave me alone
 Take your weapons of mass destruction, terror and sleaze
 Go to Hell with your corruption, just get away from me
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 Go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell
 Go to Hell in a handbasket 'cause heaven waits for me
 Go to Hell in a handbasket, heaven's calling me
 Heaven, heaven waits for me, so go to Hell
 Oh, my brothers and my sisters (ah)
 God can deliver us from Satan's evil grip
 Satan, listen to me, my Father in Heaven can kick your astronomical ego right back to the pits of Hell (ah)
 Can I get an amen on that one?
 Oh, hallelujah. Oh, Satan, you ol' devil you
 God can flatten you like a Sunday morning pancake (ah)
 Can I get a hallelujah on that one?
 Oh, ain't it so, ain't it so?
 
 I have many friends in the 101st Air bourne and the 5th special forces
 At Fort Campbell Kentucky, I go visit them when I can
 The guys in special forces are you usually the first ones into a war and often the last ones out
 Imagine, going into a hostile country lightly armed and with just a few men
 What they do is so secret they never get the recognition they deserve
 And this is one time I want them to know, they are appreciated
