Cadavers cadaversEverywhere cadaversCadaversCadavers (2x)Everywhere cadaversLying all aboutTheir clothing is in disarrayTheir teeth are falling outDiscoloring and decayingThey cannot pull their weightThey block the path of passersbyUntil they desiccateFaces sunk and hollowForward in a slumpSandwiched in the wall-boards Hidden in the dumpFace-down in a puddleSpoiling in the sunExuding hideous odorsOffending everyoneWasting in a basementLeft out in the rainSongtextePropped up in a stairwellDangling from a craneBeneath a pile of rubbleHoisted up on highRising from the oceanFalling from the skyCadavers cadaversSet them out to dryPaint the head with pitch andPut a penny in its eyeTie it to a fenderAnd drag it all aroundTell it that it ought to have been Buried in the groundInsult them and degrade themThey will not protestExcept with quiet gurglingsArising from the chestKicked aside and picked onBy ordinary folksEmployed by student doctors inUngodly practical jokesWhere signs of life are presentCadavers are as wellThere's no use trying to look awayOr hiding from the smellWhere once beloved people wereCadavers are insteadIt falls upon the living To live among the dead.The fluids that they're leakingWill trickle by and by,And overnight contaminate The drinking water supply.Floating down the river,Strewn along the banks,We'll share in their diseases.We'll join them in their ranks.Cadavers cadaversEverywhere cadaversCadavers cadaversEverywhere cadaversCadaversCadavers Aus Songtexte Mania
