Lirieke: Hurt. Flowers.

the children will sing
a song in the streets
it sounds like the 23rd psalm
to the music of 21 guns

the flowers are dead
in a vase by the bed
the place where the old woman died
it's the place where she started her life

the papers will all say her name
but probably print the wrong date
the day that she died

cause we're all gonna die
cute little puppies, and bunnies, and birds
people who sing when they don't know the words,
you will die

cause we're all gonna die
it's just part of life
all men, women, children
hermaphrodites too
animals, aliens, and certainly you
you will die

cause we're all gonna die
cause everyone dies
and all that was ever and all that will be
single celled creatures anything green
you will die

cause we're all gonna die
start saying goodbye!
from the moment you start up the miserable life
you should know that it's only a matter of time
'til you die


cause we're all gonna die
start saying goodbye
and the morons at labels who think they know tunes
the army of lawyers that threaten to sue
the hookers that blow them when I just want food
and the asshats that download and never bought tunes
you should die

cause we're all gonna die
i can't wait til you die
all protestants, catholics, and orthodox jews
you dumb scientologists
and guys who bend spoons
well buddhists, err... sort of
and atheist's too
all you wackjob believers
nobody's immune
you will die

cause we're all gonna die
KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE

and sarcastic songwriters
guys with tattoos
drummers and bassists
and engineers too
and every last person that sang in this room
they will die

cause we're all gonna die
yeah we're all gonna die
cause we're all gonna die
yeah we're all gonna die

and it's just a reminder of something that's frequently known...
