lyrics

Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord

See angels flying above, then walk on clouds to see the Pearly Gates
There are no con-men allowed, no lies, no grifts, and no fake universities
Hark! The Angels sing their songs!
Then up comes Peter with his lists and his psalms
And he says
"Hell is too good for you, Donny, to torture you unending ways
No
We need something more suitable to your particular tastes"

Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord
Gonna take you to meet the Lord

You're falling to the Earth now, the wind is moving fast
Flesh is being stripped away, new skin put in its place
New clothes on your back
You are now penniless living in your own curated world of cruelty
All of your surgery is gone, nobody recognizes who you might have been
But at least there's still the news
But something is amiss
It's only a year since your passing and no one remembers your name
The only thing that they know about you is collective anger and shame
And so we sing

Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Oh Donny boy
Oh Donny boy
The rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord
Gonna take you to meet the Lord
