lyrics

Well, I’ve been thinking about all the stories they tell
The rise and the fall of the nations
And it seems clear to me we’re precariously arranged
At the top of the mountain’s peak
Nowhere but down and someday we’ll be found
In a pile of our empire’s ruins
They will dig up my grave and put me on display

And someday they will talk about the way we are tonight
And history will be re-made from all the pieces of our lives

So when I’m gone, lay me down with a Burger King crown
And this microphone as a scepter
Adorn my hands and my feet with old Cracker Jack rings
And I’ll be looking like royalty
So baby, paint up the walls of my sarcophagus
With all of my greatest achievements
And if that isn’t enough
You can just make it up
I don’t mind
