24K Casket

(アルバム： Born Against - 2021)

Everyone says money can't buy happiness
And so far in my life I'll agree
But it seems a lot more comfortable to cry
In a Lamborghini
But one day while you're driving down the 5
The earth splits open and all of us die
At least we're all together, and this time it's forever
And all we have to pass the time
Is you and them and me...
And the reckoning!

You might get to sleep forever in a 24 carat casket
Covered up in dirt from a place you can't pronounce
A headstone so big even astronauts can see
The only thing you'll never get to die with is dignity

Most of life we're sitting on a bench
And we know the bird above us is gonna... you know
Well some days we move and others we just yell
"Just go ahead, everyone else does."

And I think I'd rather have bad luck than have no luck at all
I'd rather be alive than half a dozen feet below
And things will never go back to the way they were before
Because I don't think this world wants us on it anymore
I don't think this world wants us on it anymore

And subtlety isn't everyone's cup of tea
Some of us prefer a little whiskey
But it's your life, you're the only one that has to lose it

And we might never get to see inside a 24 carat casket
Hopefully we had a damn good life while we had it
A headstone so small, no one will ever read
But hopefully if we're lucky, we'll die with dignity
