When Will You Die? - They Might Be Giants

I’m so tired

Of your lies

And the evil things

You’re doing behind my back

Are there crimes

That you have never committed?

I doubt it, sometimes I wonder

When will you die?

You’re insane

You are bad

You wreck everything you touch

And you’re a sociopath

But there’s one thing

That everyone’s wondering

When will you die?

Schoolchildren stay at home (yeah)

And all the banks will close (yeah)

Each year we’ll mark the date (yeah)

On which we celebrate (yeaah)

I know how

I know why

I can picture every part

Of your comeuppance, except

For the one remaining

Piece of the puzzle

Which is when you’ll die

This is Dan

And that’s Dan

And that’s Marty on the drums

To complete the band

And I’m John

And he is also John

And all of us are wondering

When you’re gonna die

Still you live

You go on

But you’re running out the clock

And if we knew how long

I’d be counting down the days

Until the lovely one

On which you’re gone

On that promised morning

We will wake and greet the dawn

Knowing that your wicked life is over

And that we will carry on

We’ll exhale

We’ll high five

We will know at last

How great it is to be alive

We’ll be lining up

And buying tickets

And then we’ll be jumping

Up and down on your grave

You’re insane

You are bad

You wreck everything you touch

And you’re a sociopath

And the only way to mitigate

Would be to know the date

You’re scheduled to vacate

When are you going to die?

Look me in the eye

Tell me when you’ll die
