Idiot's Delight

[Verse 1] Well, I met up with Saint Peter He was workin' 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" [Chorus] Well, the jackals leave here laughin' as they slip into the night How did something so beautiful turn into idiot's delight? [Verse 2] 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 Such a small return [Chorus] Well, the jackals leave here laughin' as they slip into the night How did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight? [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] Well, the jackals leave here laughin' as they slip into the night How did something so beautiful turn into idiot's delight? Idiot's delight
