HURT LYRICS - Flowers

"Flowers"



The children will sing

A song in the streets

Sounds like the 23rd psalm

To music of 21 notes

The flowers are dead

In a vase by the bed

On the place where the old woman died

It's the same place she started her life

Papers will all say her name

And probably print the wrong date

The day that you die,

'Cause we're all gonna die

Cute little puppies and bunnies and birds

People who sing when they don't know the words

You will die

'Cause we're all gonna die

It's just part of life

All men, women, children, hermaphrodites too

Animals, aliens and certainly you

You will die

'Cause we're all gonna die

'Cause everyone dies

And all that was ever

And all that will be

Single celled creatures

And anything green

You will die

'Cause we're all gonna die

Start saying goodbye

From the moment you start up this miserable life

You should know that it's only a matter of time

'Till you die

'Cause we're all gonna die

Start saying goodbye

And the morons at labels who think they know tunes

The army of lawyers that threaten to sue

The hookers that blow them when I just want food

And the asshats that download and never buy tunes

You should die

'Cause we're all gonna die

I can't wait 'till you die

All protestants, catholics and orthadox jews

You dumb scientologists

And guys who bend spoons

And buddhists, sort of

And athiests too

All you wackjob believers

Nobody's immune

You will die

'Cause we're all gonna die

Kiss your ass goodbye

And sarcastic song writers

Guys with tattoos, drummers and bassists and engineers too

And every last person that sang in this room

They will die

'Cause we're all gonna die

We're all gonna die

'Cause we're all gonna die

We're all gonna die

And it's just a reminder of something that's frequently known
