Soon We’ll Be Dead

[Intro]
Soon, I'll be dead
I'll lay in my bed
I've made in my years
I won't shed a tear

[Verse 1]
We're all guilty anyways
The dumb games we all play
All tarnished and scarred
When did life get so hard?
We'll drink to "Auld Lang Syne"
With fortified wine
We'll drink to tymes olde
From pitchers of gold

[Chorus 1]
Soon, we'll be dead
To death, we'll be wed
We'll slip on the ring
It ain't a big thing

[Verse 2]
And though you might curse "thee"
We're angels of mercy
And sometimes, we fall
Ya can't win them all
I'll pass out at dawn
And dream of friends gone
As the morbid embrace
Warms over my face

[Chorus 2]
And soon, we'll be dead (And soon, we'll be dead)
Our brains and our heads (My brains and my head)
They've always forgotten
When did life get so rotten?

[Intro Reprise]
Soon, I'll be dead
I'll lay in my bed
I've made in my years
I won't shed a tear

[Chorus 3]
Soon, we'll be dead (Soon, we'll be dead)
We'll lay in our beds (We'll lay in our beds)
We've made in our years
We won't shed a tear

[Chorus 4]
And soon, we'll be dead
Our brains and our heads
They've always forgotten
When did life get so rotten?

Yeah!

[Outro]
For auld lang syne

[Spoken]
If we leave the responsibility of tomorrow
Up to institutions like the World Trade Organization
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund
We're dooming ourselves to a future
Of corporate feudalism and ecological catastrophe
