They All Died Singing Lyrics by Skeleton Staff

Kurfürstendammned

2016

[Chorus]
Break out the champers and strike up the band
We may not see out the year
I’d rather take up my banjo or take to the stage
Rather than trembling in fear
They went down happy, so happy
That’s how they all died, back in Berlin the last time
They went down singing, yes singing, that’s how they all died:
With their voices all raised in song
[Verse]
Now everybody says you must not fear
Then everybody says your end is near
Then everybody says this man’s sincere
Then everyone says he’s a racketeer
Then everybody says this fiscal year
You’re gonna have to find a new career
Then everybody says you must be of good cheer
Then everyone says shift it up a gear
Then everybody says it’s too severe
Then everyone votes not to interfere
Then argues over what to commandeer
Then everybody blames the auctioneer
When no one bid ‘cause the reserve’s too dear
Then everybody says there are no problems here
But I say:
[Chorus]
Break out the schnapps and let's strike up the band
We may not see out the year
I’d rather take up my top hat or take to the stage
Rather than living in fear
We’ll go down happy, so happy
That’s how we’ll all die, just like they did the last time
We’ll go down singing, yes singing, that’s how we’ll all die:
With our voices all raised in song
[Outro]
We'll all die singing, yes singing, that's how we'll all die:
With our voices all raised in song
