Lyrics:

I met an old blind man
Out on the street
I gave him some money
And something to eat
He said come on over here, boy
And sit by me
And let me tell you what I still see

He said: Heaven or Hell, it’s up to you
And it ain’t what you say, it’s about what you do
It’s not what you take, but it’s about what you give
And it’s not what you preach, it’s about how you live
And it’s understood when the haters hate
That they won’t make it through Heaven’s gate
He said mark my words boy, I still can see
We get what we deserve – that’s what he said to me

He said: The fire glows in the dead of night
On the streets of hell, it’s the only light
In the shadow distance is where you find
The soulless sinner who’s been left behind
And there’s a diamond demon down below
In the dog day dungeon where the lost ones go
And they dwell there now for eternity
They all get what they deserve
That’s what he said to me

Some men have venom where blood should be
And they treat other men with hostility
Consumed by fear, bigotry, and hate
Oblivious they seal their fate
And on the broken sidewalks of the burning city
They weep and moan and they beg for pity
They howl but no one hears their plea
And they get what they deserve – that’s what he said to me

We get what we deserve
All of us
We get what we deserve
It’s up to you
We get what we deserve
Heaven or Hell
