Glory Train Songtext
von Randy Newman

Will you pass on over?
Yes, Lord
Will you all pass over?
Yes, Lord
Will you pass on over and join the Lord?

Have you been redeemed?
Yes, we have
Have you been redeemed?
Yes, we have

Then you can pass on over
You can join the Lord

I see some hard times coming
Fire and wind and rain
Billions of people all scared of each other
Hearts full of envy and anger and pain
There on the edge of darkness
People come together again
Standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train


Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
They′ll be standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train

Lift up your head and stand tall
Let faith be your only guide
With all that love inside you
Salvation cannot be denied

Just when the storm is breaking
Just when no hope remains
Rolling into the station
Here comes the glory train

Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
It's rolling into the station
Bound for glory
Bound for glory
Get on the glory train

If I might intrude just for a moment
Volunt to inject a note of reality on this festive occasion


In all my life I don′t believe I've ever heard such bullshit
Even from you, a master of bullshit
You know it, I know it
It's bullshit, bullshit
All of the faith and prayer in the world
All of your dumb show and circuses
You know it′s a lie, it′ll always be a lie
The invention of an animal who knows he's going to die
Some fools in the desert with nothing else to do
So scared of the dark they didn′t know if they were coming or going

So they invented me and they invented you
And other fools will keep it all going and growing

Everybody
We're a figment of their imagination
A beautiful dream, it is true
A figment of their imagination
Me and you
And you know it
Me and you
