So You Won't Have To Die - Grand Funk Railroad

The way of life is tough these days, it’s hard to get along

But Jesus came and he talked to me, and that’s why I wrote this song

He told me of my brothers in a far and distant land

He said that it’s gettin' crowded on Earth, and it’s time we made some plans

Time we made some plans

He said overpopulation is the problem of today

There’s too many children on the Earth, and more on the way

If you don’t start some birth control, then you won’t last too much longer

It’s best that we let it save our souls, so we can get much stronger

Get much stronger

Ahhh …

I’m afraid of overpopulation

I don’t want to die of suffocation

The world is full of pollution

And Jesus is the solution

He said we’re gettin' near the end, and I’m as close as you are

If you take Jesus as a friend, you’re gonna' be a big star

Star that shines in the sky above, a light you cannot sever

You will be with him above, and you will shine forever

Shine forever

Ahhh …

He tries to be with me

He’s tryin to set me free

He wants to be with you

So you won’t have to die
