Pushin' Daisies

As I lay here
Pushin' daisies
Sleepin' with the fishes
Passed away

I can't help but lose
All of my memory
What was the world like
And will it ever change someday

I forget war
I forget despair
I forget hunger
And all my stupid love affairs

I forget guilt
I forget Reps and Democrats
So why can't the world forget all that?

Could I have changed it
If I had remained
Spread out the message
All around

But I can't escape
And I don't want to anyway
Things are better here
Underground

'Cause I forget hate
And I forget greed
I forget the fortune
That isn't spent on needs

I forget confusion
Oh, it left me so perplexed
I forget power
Oh, I even forget sex

But I recall earth
I recall snow and sun and rain
I recall air
That I wish to breathe again

I recall flesh
I recall brains and hearts and souls
That's what we need to be
And to be should be our goal.
