about

Joe's demon's and the inmates do their best to convince him to end it.

lyrics

SUICIDE GOD
I was wondering if I’d get a chance
To have a little chat
You seem depressed
I often feel like that.
Sometimes it’s hard to know
Where to begin
But why not take it to the end, and
Do yourself in.
You know, sometimes
How do I put this…
Life just “ain’t worth livin’” ahhah?
And as hard as you try, Well sometimes your tryin’
it ain’t hard enough.
Makes you feel like dyin’
I know you think it’s a sin
But maybe it’s time to do yourself in

You know maybe, they’ve all been a foolin’ you
Joe, Foolin’ you into thinking you got to stick it out
--That there’s something wrong with goin’ your own way.
Well don’t pout. We got it figured it out.
No one really knows, where you’ve been
No one really knows, where you’ve been
So take it to the end buddy,
And do yourself in.

How hard have you tried?
It’s been a while since you thought of suicide
It’s only a suggestion
But maybe all them people lied
To be or not to be, what was the question?
Was it meant for me?
You know I know you think it’s a sin
But maybe it’s time to do yourself in?

Have you considered pills?
A little cyanide goes a long way, Buddy
Have you thought about pulling the car into the garage
For a Sunday drive to nowhere?
For a Sunday drive to nowhere?
Sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin
But why not take in to the end
And do your self in.
