Death's not great Death's far from ideal Death has a sick way of keepin' things real Could be lurking right there In the next shellfish meal on your plate Death's not great No one's safe from its touch Happens all of the time Happens frankly, too much Health insurance can help Just depends on your coverage rate Death's not great Every living thing dies From the mightiest whale To the smallest of flies So why does it come as a massive surprisе when it's fate? Death's not grеat Death comes all at once Or it happens in stages Even tortoises die and those things live for ages No matter how hard against the dying light a man rages It's always checkmate Death's not great Yeah but everyone does it Although its a fact no one wants to discuss it It's hardly a subject you'll likely to tossup When you're on a date Death's not great There's a dread that can fill you For Christ's sakes, a fucking mosquito can kill you There's so much to hate (so much to hate) It's a waste of breath but Death's not great And it's just 'round the corner (Just 'round the corner) Pounces on you like an improv performer And when it's too late (When it's too late) You're stuffed in a crate (Stuffed in a crate) And all that is left (And all that is left) Is a stack looking fit (a stack looking fit and yes) Yes, death's not great One little wrap 'round the farm, then it's over Some fun in the sun, then you're pushing up clovers We all booked that flight to eternal vacation It's all beer and cello then "hello cremation" One day it's all a palaver of schedules The next you're a naked cadaver at med school So hey, what can we say Death's not great It just suddenly happens Folks dig a hole and say "ah, well that's that then" And sell your estate (sell your estate) It's a red-hot mess Yes, death's not great Your funeral's filled with fake "see-you laterers" The corpse is ignored while they fawn on the caterers God I'm depressed (God I'm depressed) I think I need a rest (I need a rest) And all that is left (And all that is left) Is a stack of unpaid debts (your unpaid debts, yes) Yes, death's not great
