Lyrics

They crucify you when you get it wrong Things are fine they put you ahead They laugh at you with your trousers down They pick the stones and aim them at you're head When you're alive, they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled Doesn't matter what you try to hide The sun comes out and then the truth is read Your fans will love you while you're alive But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled 'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray by the side of your bed And then everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray just like your momma said When you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bled You're turning your grave at what's gonna be said You'll finally be appreciated 'Cause everybody loves you when your dead Everybody loves you when your dead
