I've been dead since I was born

I've been dead since I was born,
 Saw the world didn't want no more,
 I stood back and watched it burn
 and now everybody's dead.

 Out of sight and out of mind,
 Will not do the daily grind,
 I'll have my coffee like I have my time
 Well I've got none of it,

 Trade in God trade in your wife,
 Leave it for a better life,
 Wash your sins then leave em' out to dry
 then [bad word] burn yourself,

 We're elephants on chicken legs,
 Houses built on stilts in water,
 We buckle and we bend and then we drown,

 Brace for impact - brace for ground,
 Take a stand then tumble down,
 You'll never get to be the man you want.

 I said I wasn't built for this,
 Told him that we'd all fall down,
 "Tough luck," he said, "humanity ain't [bad word] quot;.
