Why'd I Have to Die?

We are gathered here today
To mourn the loss of
A dearly departed
Hard-working
Wonderful soul
He leaves behind his three wonderful children
And his beautiful wife
His mighty, mighty beautiful wife
His voluptuous, curvy wife
I’m sitting here in the afterlife.
I see the pearly gates
I guess now I’m supposed to wait
I got wings;
I can fly around.
It’s all heavenly
I thought I’d live to be at least seventy
I got three daughters;
the oldest was only ten
And I’m supposed to fly?
What about them?
I left my wife behind to fend for herself
And I wasn’t even in poor health
I left my family to suffer, down there crying
While I’m in the beautiful afterlife, flying
I’m waiting in line to see God, and when I get to Him
I’ma ask him what the fuck was he doing
I was happy on earth;
I wanted to stay
I can’t do this to my wife.
I got so much to say
There wasn’t even a goodbye;
I just upped and jetted
Now they’re staring at my grave, my name embedded
Why’d I have to die?
(I wasn’t ready to)
Why’d I have to die?
(God, I’m asking you)
Why’d I have to die?
(This is bullshit!)
Why’d I have to die?
(What about my kids?)
Why’d I have to die?
(I was a young man)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t understand)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t want heaven!)
Why’d I have to die?
(No, this can’t happen!)
I was on my way home from a double shift
In my right pocket, I had my wife’s gift
It was her birthday.
Everything was all right
Until a drunk kid blew the light
All I remember is headlights approaching
Next thing I knew, on my own blood I’m choking
The car exploded, and I’m looking down on it
When they told my wife, she had to vomit
Now I’m flying through the clouds with all the angles
I think about it, someone I wanna strangle
I wanna live to see my children have their kids
I wanna hold them like my father did
Why was I cut out?
They say he has a plan
Well this is torture.
I don’t understand
How can I watch my family cry
And just fly through the sky at look at them like «Bye!»
Why’d I have to die?
(I wasn’t ready to)
Why’d I have to die?
(God, I’m asking you)
Why’d I have to die?
(This is bullshit!)
Why’d I have to die?
(What about my kids?)
Why’d I have to die?
(I was a young man)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t understand)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t want heaven!)
Why’d I have to die?
(No, this can’t happen!)
I’m up here watching my own funeral
My family’s dressed in black, so are my pals
Everybody’s crying.
The casket is shut
It’s gotta be;
I was blown the fuck up
I see a preacher I never knew acting somber
Hitting on my wife.
I can’t take this any longer
I see my parents.
My mother’s hysterical
I wish I could return, perform some kind of miracle
But all I can do is wait for them at the gates
And I will, no matter how long it takes
I hope it’s forever, and they live full lives
I wanna see my daughters grow and become wives
I’ll probably have to watch my wife remarry
'Cause I was taken so young and unfairly
What kind of plan is this?
Keep your wings
I don’t want anything that heaven brings!
Why’d I have to die?
(I wasn’t ready to)
Why’d I have to die?
(God, I’m asking you)
Why’d I have to die?
(This is bullshit!)
Why’d I have to die?
(What about my kids?)
Why’d I have to die?
(I was a young man)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t understand)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t want heaven!)
Why’d I have to die?
(No, this can’t happen!)
Why’d I have to die?
(I wasn’t ready to)
Why’d I have to die?
(God, I’m asking you)
Why’d I have to die?
(This is bullshit!)
Why’d I have to die?
(What about my kids?)
Why’d I have to die?
(I was a young man)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t understand)
Why’d I have to die?
(I don’t want heaven!)
Why’d I have to die?
(No, this can’t happen!)
Mmm.
A dead body is indeed a true delicacy
