Lyrics

I wanna see the angel at the foot of a tree
Live man die
Explaining all the good things in life to me
Live man die
I wanna see the bank manager driving in a boat
Live man die
Having his throat torn out by a goat
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die

I wanna see the person who's ruining his life
Live man die
Still can't talk to his kids or his wife
Live man die
I wanna see the president scratching his nose
Live man die
Give it some time and you might grow a rose
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die, yep

I wanna hear the wise men telling the fools
Live man die
Why they gotta close all the hospitals and schools
Live man die
I wanna ask the government's silent majority
Live man die
Why hospitals with children are not a priority
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Another chorus

I wanna see the people all climbing the stairs
Live man die
They go up in singles and come down in pairs
Live man die
I wanna see the hair growing over your head
Live man die
If you can smile, then you're surely not dead
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die

I wanna see the priest at the foot of a cliff
Live man die
Gaze in the mirror and adjusting his quiff
Live man die
I wanna hear the earth shoveled into the ground
Live man die
Maybe I can relax when you're not around
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die

I wanna see the devil on the edge of his seat
Live man die
You can't just come in cubes of meat
Live man die
I wanna see your knife from the fork of the dead
Live man die
Go home and grow pleasant flowers in my bed
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die, keep going
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die
Live man die

Live man die
Live man die
Live man die, ok
