Текст песни: Invasion of the Not Quite Dead + перевод

It’s not a tragedy. Nobody thinks so

It’s not a tragedy

It’s not a tragedy

Mortality! It’s inescapable

Want to get out of it. Nobody’s capable

Get it stapled to the manila folder

Of your life when the moment arrives

A pure certification of events:

Birth; vaccinations; graduations; rent

Then when it’s all over with

Hope you get laid to rest underneath an obelisk

And don’t have to keep hustling on

Ashamed of your shamble like you’ve done something wrong

By swindling the reaper out of one scythe swipe

Or turning all the living into fun-sized bites

You can’t help it. Your life priorities

Left with your last breath, and the enormity

Of this milestone isn’t noted by your mourners

They’re too busy wishing you’d go back to the coroner’s

You have to learn to live with the fact that you’re dead

There’s plenty of you now and plenty more coming

And some of them think they’ll survive, so keep running

But sooner or later we all run out of time

The trick is to not get stuck one foot over the line

Nothing left but your viciousness

Maybe that’s all you ever were. Death’s chrysalis

Led to the one true you, and it’s hungry

Eat another neighbor up. Blood on your dungarees

The guns release bullets. You don’t mind

Your gullet’s so full, it’s divine

And this is like a miracle, to linger past your passing

A blessing that’s lasting: a horde fast amassing

Please forgive loved ones who aren’t missing you

Photo albums they’re not reminiscing through

Remember what the preacher at your funeral said:

It isn’t quite a tragedy, you’re not quite dead

You have to learn to live with the fact that you’re dead

Product of voodoo? Maybe mad science?

Doesn’t matter now. You’re free from reliance

On reasons for things. They all just happen

Blood just splatters. Didn’t bring a napkin —

So inconsiderate! But that’s canonical

Consciousness gone, it was epiphenomenal

Plain talk: haven’t got your head on straight

Now you’re the one all of them want to decapitate

Don’t let ‘em! They’re morsels, all

You can come get ‘em. They’re of course appalled

But before long they won’t care, like you don’t

They’ll be craving the long prosciutto

And otherwise undesirous of anything

Ready for this? Or is it unsettling?

Every one of us has squandered years

So go for the gory. Bite in between the ears

It’s not a tragedy nobody thinks so

It’s not a tragedy nobody thinks so

It’s not a tragedy nobody thinks so

It’s not a tragedy

It’s not a tragedy

You have to learn to live with the fact that you’re dead
