| Well a first class coffin
|
| Gets a carriage to itself
|
| Mourners, a choir, the works
|
| And a second class coffin
|
| Wah it’s a bit more modest
|
| But with
|
| More or less
|
| The same perks
|
| But us third class coffins
|
| Well we get crammed into a carriage
|
| No mourners allowed to ride
|
| Well they pile in the paurpers
|
| One on top of the other
|
| 3 coffins deep and 6 coffins high
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| Now my journey to the afterlife
|
| Has been quite fraught
|
| Because a third class coffin ticket was all I
|
| Bought
|
| Now I couldn’t afford a send off
|
| With style and class
|
| And then (necropolis?) company can’t be arsed
|
| To travel to the cemet’ry
|
| With only us aboard
|
| So they stick us in the siding
|
| To be ignored
|
| Til the third class coffins can
|
| Hitch a lift on the next train
|
| Carrying the first class (stin?)
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class cit-i-zen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead (And now, (before we?) raise the earth)
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead (We fight. We do not fall apart)
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead (We lead our lives down on through the
|
| ground)
|
| A third class citizen even when I’m dead (They cant (opino?) bring us home) |
