“I remember, I remember
What life was like in the yard
‘Cause you can’t ever think about dying
And it just makes a person get hard
I keep wondering if my friends feel like I do
I don’t know how someone could stand it
To go through what I’m now going through
[…]
And I realize just a little
Why sometimes I like to feel like dirt
It’s the only thing in this day and age
That can make me feel close to the earth
But if I ever get to heaven
If I ever reach that door
I will listen why I had to go through this life
Why they just couldn’t take me before
But everybody’s going to Heaven
‘Cause already we’ve all been through Hell”
– Todd Rundgren, “Everybody’s Going to Heaven,” 1974
