Zombie Heaven

If love should pass us by

I won’t blink an eye,

I won’t pretend to cry.

If hope should prove a lie,

I would feign a smile

And pretend to wonder why.

If good should run us down

I won’t make a sound,

And give a run around.

If hate should pull a crowd,

I won’t run my mouth,

My feeling won’t head down south.

If life should deal hard knocks

I won’t give a bad turn;

I won’t ask for potluck.

If courage should quit and die

I’ll just play my cards right

And I’ll return like for like.
