The Whole "Being Dead" Thing

Letra
Hey folks

Begging your pardon

Scuse me sorry to barge in

Now let's skip the tears

And start on the whole

Y'know

Being dead thing

You're doomed enjoy the singing

The sword of Damocles is swinging

And if I hear your cell-phone ringing

I'll kill you myself

The whole being dead thing

Death can get a person stressed

We should have carpe'd way more diems

Now we're never gonna see 'em

I can show you what comes next

So don't be freaked

Stay in your seats

I do this bullshit like eight times a week

So just relax you'll be fine

Drink your fifty-dollar wine

And take a breath

Welcome to a show about death

You're

You're gonna be fine

On the other side

Die

You're all gonna die

You're all gonna die

I'll

I'll be your guide

To the other side

Though in full disclosure

It's a show about death

Everybody gets on fine here

Like Rodgers Hart

And Hammerstein here

The women's bathroom has no line here

Just pee where you want

The whole being dead thing

You're just gonna love the folks here

Yeah I know you're woke

But you can take a joke here

And every show I do like

A ton of coke here

The whole

The whole being dead thing

Nobody is bullet-proof

"I work out I eat clean"

Jesus pass the Dramamine

Time to face the brutal truth

'Cause we're all on a hitlist

Might not live 'till Christmas

Choke to death on Triscuits

Hey that just statistics

So take a little break here

Kinda like a wake here

The scenery is fake here

But there's a giant snake here

Welcome to a show about death

You're you're gonna be fine

Thank you

On the other side

How you doin'

Not good

I'll

I'll be your guide

To the other side

Seriously though

This is a show about

Death is taboo

But it's hardly something new

There's nothing medical professionals can do

Cept maybe just bill you

If you die while listening to this album

It's still gonna keep playing

There's no destiny or fate

Just a terrifying wait

Filled with people that you hate

And on a certain date

The universe kills you

That's the thing with life

No-one makes it out alive

Toss that body in the pit

"Gosh it's awful ain't it tragic"

"Blah blah Bible Jesus magic"

When you're dead

Who gives a shit

No pilates no more yoga

"Namaste" you freakin' posers

From the cradle to cremation

Death just needs a little conversation

I have mastered the art

Of tearing convention apart

So how about we all make a start

On the whole being dead thing

God I hope you're ready for

A show about death
