They crucify you when you get it wrong And things are fine, they gut you aheadThey laugh at you with your trousers down And pick the stones and they don't match your headWhen you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bledDoesn't matter what you try to hide The sun comes out and then the truth is readYour fans will love you when you're alive But the reeds are laid by the rest insteadWhen you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bledCos everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray by the side of your headAnd then everybody loves you when you're dead Kneel and pray just like your mama saidWhen you're alive they won't care what you said What you deserve and all the blood you bledYou're turning your grave and what's gonna be said Will finally be appreciatedCos everybody loves you when you're dead Everybody loves you when you're dead
