YOUR CREDIT CARD WON'T GET YOU INTO HEAVEN
(Shel Silverstein)


Bobby Bare - 1980





Your credit card won't get you into Heaven
Your Visa will not buy you silver wings
When you're burning down in Hell, with no water in the well
Your Diner's Club won't buy you one cold drink

You cannot charge salvation or redemption
Your Master Charge won't help to save your skin
When you're standing at the gates and they slam 'em in your face
Your Playboy key, it will not get you in
