Panera Dread Songtext
von BlueRaspberry

Driving through Texas, feeling mighty swell
A billboard asked me, "Where ya going: heaven or hell?"
I said, "I′m just going to Panera Bread
But now I'm full of existential dread"

Will I burn up in fiery flames?
Will I meet St. Peter or St. James?
Will I be tortured eternally?
Or will I have a salad with a side of broccoli and cheese?

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
No way of knowing so
I propose we order those poppyseed bagels for the road

People come and go from Panera Bread
But people don′t return often once they're dead
I've never seen a Yelp review for Heaven or Hell
But this Panera Bread has 3.5 stars, so might as well!


Will I burn up in fiery flames?
Will I meet St. Peter or St. James?
Will I be tortured eternally?
Or will I have a salad with a side of broccoli and cheese?

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
No way of knowing so
I propose we order those mango smoothies for the road

All you men with your petty signs listen here
I′ve got things to do today
No time for fear
I think I′ll be alright. At least that's my hunch
For now, just let me eat my freakin′ lunch!

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
No way of knowing so
I propose we order those Mediterranean grain bowls for the road


Where am I going?
Where am I going?
Where will I go?
Where will I go?
No way of knowing so
I propose we order those

Um, I have a question
Sure, what can I get for you?
Am I going to hell?
Sir, this is a Panera Bread
Yeah, I know I just saw this sign and it freaked me out
Uh, well, if you're asking me, I′m with George MacDonald when he says
"I don't want God to love me if God does not love everybody"
Oh, that′s a relief. Well, in that case, I'll have an everything bagel

For the road
For the road
For the road
For the road
For the road
