the odd ditties - ballad of being born lyrics

everybody dies
you, your mom, and i
oh, come on, don′t cry
it’s your birthday
you won′t know the date
that your scythe awaits
as you eat your cake
the reaper slays

99% of all the life that ever lived is dead
in essence, you’re a nonconformist corpse
99% of all the life that ever lived is dead
essentially, we’re carcasses
that don′t deign to die yet
blow those candles out and make a wish

what? he′s growing up
he should know this stuff
you coddle him too much
it’s disgusting
i thought as his dad
i could tell him that
somehow i′m the bad guy
or something

(night of the living 99%)
99%
(of us are dead)
of all the life that lived is dead
(you might be next)
in essence, you’re a nonconformist corpse
(what a fashionable nonconformist corpse)
99%
(of us are dead)
of all the life that lived is dead
essentially, we′re skeletons
(we’re skeletons)
that dare to draw a breath
(that draw a breath)
that are just too stubborn to submit
a pinch to grow an inch
honestly, you′re still barely standin’
pin the tail on the donkey
when it dawns on me who the ass is
you’re the ass, kid
for he′s a jolly good fellow
but he will still go to h_ll though
guts spill out of piñatas
as god looks down and mocks us

oh god, will you just
so what if i′m drunk?
just ’cause i’m buzzed
doesn′t make me not right
but ’cause he’s a kid
we should lie to him
he should get gifts if he merely survives
you still exist: here′s a new bike

99% of all the life that ever lived is dead
in essence, you’re a nonconformist corpse
(your time is nigh)
99%
(dear god, no more)
of all the life that lived is dead
(we beg you, lord)
essentially, we′re carcasses
(we’re carcasses)
that haven’t carcassed yet
(that haven′t yet)
get shot wishing on a shooting star
blow out candles, you′ll be in the dark
