Everyone says money can’t buy happiness And so far in my life I’ll agree But it seems a lot more comfortable to cry In a Lamborghini But one day while you’re driving down the 5 The earth splits open and all of us die At least we’re all together, and this time it’s forever And all we have to pass the time Is you and them and me… And the reckoning!
You might get to sleep forever in a 24 carat casket Covered up in dirt from a place you can’t pronounce A headstone so big even astronauts can see The only thing you’ll never get to die with is dignity
Most of life we’re sitting on a bench And we know the bird above us is gonna… you know Well some days we move and others we just yell “Just go ahead, everyone else does.”
And I think I’d rather have bad luck than have no luck at all I’d rather be alive than half a dozen feet below And things will never go back to the way they were before Because I don’t think this world wants us on it anymore I don’t think this world wants us on it anymore
And subtlety isn’t everyone’s cup of tea Some of us prefer a little whiskey But it’s your life, you’re the only one that has to lose it
And we might never get to see inside a 24 carat casket Hopefully we had a damn good life while we had it A headstone so small, no one will ever read But hopefully if we’re lucky, we’ll die with dignity
