| You know you can’t take it with you
|
| So nothing’s really yours
|
| Your dreams, your nightmares
|
| High hopes and worst fears
|
| Are borrowed and rented like whores
|
| Everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
|
| Yeah you’ll be forgiven
|
| Just not while you’re livin'
|
| But everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| You’re gonna fucking love me when I’m dead
|
| And so it goes
|
| You take your secrets with you into the grave
|
| And everybody just remembers a saint
|
| And all the built up guilt you carry they bury it with your failures and call
|
| you a king
|
| Everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
|
| Yeah you’ll be forgiven
|
| Just not while you’re livin'
|
| But everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| Now it’s gone
|
| Every fuck up and mistake that you made
|
| Every dollar that your struggled to waste
|
| And all the shit that’s got you twisting and turning like blisters burning
|
| you’re earning your wings
|
| Everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
|
| Yeah you’ll be forgiven
|
| Just not while you’re livin'
|
| But everyone loves you when you’re dead
|
| Congratulations
|
| You’re dead |
