When the Angels Sing by Social Distortion

[Just Call me J]

I've been listening to this band a lot. The themes in the songs seem to reflect a lot of what I've been reading here, so here ya go!

These lyrics may not be exactly right. I wrote them down as I listened. If you know a correction, send me a note, and I'll correct it.

Social Distortion wrote/performed it. They get all the praise.

When the Angels Sing
by Social Distortion

At last we meet again, dear God
When the angels sing
The funerals are nicer when we know You're there
When the angels sing

Sometimes I try so hard
to understand the things You do
Well I don't question You when it all comes down
When the angels sing

Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and Death don't mean a thing
Til the angels sing

The prisoners pray when they're on Death Row
When the angels sing
They're choking cries for love, but it's all run out
When the angels sing

The sins of the world and it's cold on the streets
and they're all alone
And their tears, they start to fall when it all comes down
When the angels sing

Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and Death don't mean a thing
Til the angels sing

Little by little, day by day
I watch the children play
Cuz Life and Death don't mean a thing
Til the angels sing

When the Angel of Death comes alookin' for me
When the angels sing
I hope I was everything I was supposed to be
When the angels sing

There's gotta a heaven, cuz I've already done my time in hell
And a little baby's when it all comes down
When the angels sing

Stand up strong, feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and Death don't mean a thing
Til the angels sing

Little by little and day by day
I watch the children play
Cuz Life and Death don't mean a thing
Til the angels sing

Before I post the Linkin Park, here's a little Social D, bumped to the top for your reading pleasure.

We're in this together.
