These are the songs I want to hear at my funeral:
Johnny Mandel - Suicide Is Painless
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be?
And I replied 'Oh, why ask me?'
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please
Bad Religion - Better Off Dead
I'm sorry about the sun,
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon,
How could I know that you'd disapprove?
And I'll never make the same mistake,
The next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh Yeah
But until then, better off dead,
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
Better off dead, yeah better than this,
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
I'm sorry about the world,
How could I know you'd take it so bad?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're looking for a patsy,
Why not try the entire human race
Just to play it safe?
But until then, better off dead,
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
Better off dead, yeah better than this,
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
Better off dead, yeah better off dead,
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead, yeah better off dead,
A smile on the lips, and a hole in the head
And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe I'll make sure you participate.
Oh Yeah
And I'll never make the same mistake.
The next time I create the universe, I'll make sure you participate.
Just in case.
Tom Waits - Dirt In the Ground
What does it matter, a dream of love
Or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be in the same place
When we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Your face or your name
And the wind through your bones
Is all that remains
And we're all gonna be
I said we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky
Or a bird
'Cause hell is boiling over
And heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
Now the killer was smiling
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs
And the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out ofver the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground
Now Cain slew Abel
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live?
Take a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be
Yea yeah
We're all gonna be just
Dirt in the ground
Green Day - Ha Ha You're Dead
How do you get your sleep at night?
How did you get your noose so tight?
Like chewing on tinfoil that's so much fun
Gonna be dead before you're gone
'Cause look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing
How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal
I can see through you 'cause you're wearing thin
Like chewing on tinfoil once again
'Cause look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing
Ha, ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise
When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha ha you're dead, ha, ha you're dead
Ha, ha you're dead
Ha Ha Ha
Ha, ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise
When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha, ha you're dead, ha, ha you're dead
Ha, ha you're dead
Ha, ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an asshole
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown
Ha, ha you're dead ha, ha you're dead
Ha, ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead you're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha, ha you're dead ha, ha you're dead
Ha, ha you're dead
