lyrics

I met Jesus in the morning,
He was waiting for a train.
He said he thought it might be time,
To come down and explain
How wrong it was to do some things
And do them in his name.
He said, "After all, everybody's
Riding on this train".

I met Buddha on the subway,
On the subway underground,
Saw his smile slowly fade,
I saw him look around.
He said he wished we'd understand,
And do so in his name.
He said, "After all, everybody's
Riding on this train".

Met Allah on the El train,
Above the city streets.
We rattled down the railway line,
And we looked down on the meek.
He said he wondered why it was
Some never feel the pain.
He said, "After all, everybody's
Riding on this train".

I saw the Devil standing
At the station in the rain.
He had a smile upon his face,
Self-satisfied and vain.
Said, "Heaven is its own reward,
I don't have to explain".
He said, "After all, everybody's
Riding on this train".
