| People love to watch you die
|
| And wonderful to tell
|
| People you have never met
|
| Claim to know you well
|
| People love to watch you die
|
| Dig your dignity
|
| One guy said 'he's better dead
|
| Than how he used to be'
|
| They’ll sell the souvenirs
|
| And the relics of your tears
|
| They build a little shrine, wait until it shines
|
| They love to watch you die and you know why
|
| People love to watch you die
|
| It gets them sexually
|
| And then they smoke a cigarette
|
| And make a cup of tea
|
| People love to watch you fry
|
| They love to throw the switch
|
| They’ll either have you crucified
|
| Or burn you as a witch
|
| They send bouquets of flowers
|
| And then stare at space for hours
|
| They build a little shrine, wait until it shines
|
| They love to watch you die and you know why
|
| People love to watch you die
|
| Then give your family hell
|
| They call it grief but it’s just a relief
|
| And they know that full well
|
| People love to watch you drown
|
| The symbol’s what they need
|
| They’d rather not see you at all
|
| Than watch your hair recede
|
| And just to watch your pain
|
| They’d bring you back to life again
|
| They build a little shrine, sing you Auld Lang Syne
|
| They love to watch you die and you know why |
