[Intro: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]
How the hell do you explain death to such a little kid?
Well, maybe we don't have to
Slave to the plot, let them rot
Or bring them back forever
Sometimes
Sometimes dead is better
Yeah!
Sometimes
Sometimes dead is better
[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Joe Occhiuti, All]
They say, "behind those gates, eternal life awaits"
But souls beyond the grave, come back beyond depraved
With Church bells ringing, I'll start digging
Fast, they'll never know he's missing
Now the cat's back in his cage
"Oh my God, Gage!"
[Interlude: Spencer Charnas]
"We pray to thee our God" ("It's all my fault")
"For the blessings you've provided"
"Louis, don't do it"
"I have to"
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
I'll see you on the other side
But I'd kill to bring you back tonight
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll dig through sorrow and disgust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Post-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]
Remember, sometimes
Sometimes dead is better
Yeah!
Sometimes
Sometimes, dead is better
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, & Ricky Armellino]
They say that time heals all
But I won't heed the call
Buried in misery
Spare me the eulogy
Still, I can't escape the struggle
Driven when push comes to shovel
Whether God's hand or my own
Nothing here is set in stone
[Post-Verse: Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]
Cre-ate!
Cre-mate!
All hail the Semetery!
Massachusetts, let me hear it
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]
I'll see you on the other side
But I'd kill to bring you back tonight
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll dig through sorrow and disgust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Post-Chorus: Ricky Armellino]
Remember
Sometimes, dead is better
[Bridge]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I played with Mommy, now I want to play with you
[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, & Crowd]
It all began with a skid on the pavement
It ends here with funeral derangements
The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled
The wrath of God lays beneath this soil
No!
The flesh is living but the souls have spoiled
The wrath of God lays beneath this soil
Shovels in the sky, motherfuckers
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
I'll see you on the other side
But I'd kill to bring you back tonight
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll dig through sorrow and disgust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Don't give up, don't let go
I'll make this right (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Post-Chorus: Ricky Armellino & Spencer Charnas]
Remember
Sometimes
Sometimes, dead is better
Massachusetts, get up!
