Lazarus Lives! Lyrics

There are a thousand and one things I'd like to do before I die but for

The life of me I can't think what one of them is

Sometimes I feel like all of my best friends have been sock puppets

You ever have that feeling when you're like "I could really use a friend

Right now, I could really—where are all of my friends?!" And then you

Realize they're in the washing machine

For all the books I've read

For all the things you've said I've said

I like waking up most mornings

And I dont wanna be dead

I sat down on the toilet yesterday and decided to talk to God "Oh God" I

Said "There are so many things I dont understand but there's an

Afterlife? Is there? I'd like to know that now please and thank you" God

Didn't answer—most of our conversations are pretty one-sided; I flushed

The toilet

In 1838 Martin Van Buren was running for President of the You-nited

States and his campaign slogan was 'O-K!' (Cuz he was from Old

Kinderhook New York right and OK Old Kinderhook right) I'm OK! You're

OK! Not much else these days is OK but that's OK! Anyhow, Martin Van

Buren is dead. Good riddance.

For all the books I've read

For all the things you've said I've said

I like waking up most mornings

And I dont wanna be dead

William Shakespeare is dead Al Bowlly is dead George Harrison is dead

Jack Kerouac Ronald Reagan Ayn Rand James Madison Dr. Jonas Salk

Jesus Christ Arthur Miller Don Delillo Franz Kafka Bob Dylan's not dead

Yet but something tells me we wont have to wait long—and suddenly I

Don't feel so bad

That's a lie

For all the books I've read

For all the things you've said I've said

I like waking up most mornings

and I dont wanna be dead
