Intro Am E
Am
In the afterlife
E
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay (2X)
Am
People listen attentively
E
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Am
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet
Am
In the afterlife
E
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
Am
This is a place where eternally
E
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Am
And baked into cakes which are passed around
Am
In the afterlife
E
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
Am
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
E
job skills and brains
But all the things you try to hide
Am
Will be revealed on the other side
Am
In the afterlife
E
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
Am
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
(Instrumental)
A
Now the 'D' and the 'A' and the 'M' and the 'N'
E
And the 'A' and the 'T' and the 'I'-'O'-'N'
Lose your face, lose your name
Am
Then get fitted for a suit of flame! (2X)
