It's a long running joke

And I'm sorry I'd croaked if I lied, if I lied.

We'd all just keep smiling the same

So you put on your suits

And you're all in cahoots but who cares?

Silent prayers won't keep you from going insane

Or maybe they will, if just for a time

They could say it was God, or something divine

You could blame it on flesh-eating monsters

Or even yourself, even yourself

La di da

Well, it's a long running joke

And I'll run 'til I croak, God know why

God knows why, we all keep on feeding the shame

So you put on your suits

And you're all in cahoots but who cares?

Silent prayers won't keep you from feeling the pain

Or maybe they will, 'cos you know what they say

When there's a gun to your head

You should know how to pray

And when Death comes a' knockin'

He says that we're all just the same

We're all just the same

La di da

So I'll put on the suit,

If you promise to shoot when I'm chased

Sins erased, and bound for those big pearly gates

Or maybe they will, 'cos you know what they say

When there's a gun to your head

You should know how to pray

And when Death comes a' knockin'

He says that we're all just the same

We're all just the same.

La di da.

We're all just the same
