Bury Me With It

Lyrics

We were shootin' at a mound of dirt
 Well, nothing was broken, nothing was hurt
 But I probably really should have been at work
 But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?
 That you will please bury me with it!
 Please bury me with it!
 Well, sure as planets come I know that they end
 And if I'm here when that happens, will you promise me this, my friend?
 Please bury me with it!
 I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit
 Well, the suit got tight and it split at the seams
 But I kept it out of habit and I kept it real clean
 But if it's gettin' faded, if it's runnin' outta thread
 Could you just do this for me, my friend?
 And please just, please bury me with it?
 Please bury me with it!
 Well, we moved to the left and we moved to the right
 And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night
 But if the party's over, if the fun has to end
 Could you do this for me, my friend?
 Would you just, please bury me with it?
 Please bury me with it!
 Good news for people who love bad news
 We've lost the plot and we just can't choose
 We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move
 And there's good news for people who love bad news
 We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move
 We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
 ♪
 We were aiming for the moon, we were shooting at the stars
 But the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars
 So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air
 And if it's gotten to that point then I have to declare
 That you could please bury me with it!
 Please bury me with it!
 Well, fads they come and fads they go
 And God, I love that rock and roll!
 Well, the point was fast, but it was too blunt to miss
 Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"
 Please bury me with it!
 Please bury me with it!
 Oh, shit now!
