Everybody Loves You When You're Dead - The Stranglers

They crucify you when you get it wrong

When things are fine they put you ahead

They laugh at you with your trousers down

They pick the stones and aim them at you're head

When you're alive, they won't care what you said

What you deserve and all the blood you bled

Doesn't matter what you try to hide

The sun comes out and then the truth is read

Your fans will love you while you're alive

But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead

When you're alive they won't care what you said

What you deserve and all the blood you bled

'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead

Kneel and pray by the side of your bed

And then everybody loves you when you're dead

Kneel and pray just like your momma said
