Everybody loves you when youre dead

They crucify you when you get it wrong
When things are fine they put you ahead
They laugh at you with your trousers down
They pick the stones and aim them at your head

When youre alive they wont care what you said
What you deserve and all the blood you bled

It doesnt matter what you try to hide
The sun comes out and then the truth is read
Your fansll love you when youre alive
But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead

When youre alive they wont care what you said
What you deserve and all the blood you bled

Cos everybody loves you when youre dead
Kneel and pray by the side of your bed
And everybody loves you when youre dead
Kneel and pray just like your momma said When youre alive they wont care what you said
What you deserve and all the blood you bled

Youll turn in your grave at whats gonna be said
Youll finally be appreciated
Cos everybody loves you when youre dead
Cos everybody loves you when youre dead
