You know you can't take it with you
So nothing's really yours
Your dreams, your nightmares
High hopes and worst fears
Are borrowed and rented like whores
Everyone loves you when you're dead
No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
Yeah you'll be forgiven
Just not while you're living
But everyone loves you when you're dead
You're gonna fucking love me when I'm dead
And so it goes
You take your secrets with you into the grave
And everybody just remembers a saint
And all the built-up guilt you carry, they bury it
With your failures and call you a king
Everyone loves you when you're dead
No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
Yeah you'll be forgiven
Just not while you're living
But everyone loves you when you're dead
Now it's gone
Every fuck up and mistake that you made
Every dollar that your struggled to waste
And all the shit that's got you twisting and turning
Like blisters burning you're earning your wings
Everyone loves you when you're dead
No one remembers all the stupid shit you said
Yeah you'll be forgiven
Just not while you're living
But everyone loves you when you're dead
Congratulations
You're dead
