lyrics

When you die
When you die
I’ll be happy when you die
I won’t mourn and I won’t cry
And I’ll never wonder why

When you die
When you die
I’ll put on a suit and tie
Do a skip and touch the sky
I’ll be so happy when you die

I’ll pray for you
I’ll wish you well
I don’t hope that you go to hell
But rest assured I’ll celebrate on the day you do

And I’ll act cordial when I see you
But avoid you at all costs
And the next time that I see you
Well I hope that it’s the last

Like when you die
When you die
I’ll be happy when you die
I won’t mourn and I won’t cry
And I’ll never wonder why

When you die
When you die
I’ll put on a suit and tie
Do a skip and touch the sky
I’ll be so happy when you die

And though I know it’s easier to live and just let go
You’re a waste of space and oxygen and cancer on this world
An overdose or homicide is all the same to me
As long as it puts you six feet deep

Alright kids it’s time for a good old fashion El Smack sing along, are you ready?
One, two, one, two, one, two, three, four

When you die
When you die
I’ll be happy when you die
I won’t mourn and I won’t cry
And I’ll never wonder why

When you die
When you die
I’ll put on a suit and tie
Do a skip and touch the sky
I’ll be so happy when you die
