Lyrics

It starts with a birthstone And ends with a tombstone Cathedrals in London Cathedrals in Rome, all stone And I just say (what do you say?) And I just say (what do you say?) Bury them don't keep 'em And I just know (what do you know?) And I just know (what do you know?) Bury them don't keep 'em Praise to the vision That pays for the angel Coins in communion Ring like a halo.* Lay me down On my knees By my bed At night Lay me down On my knees By my bed At night Hail to the generals But hell to the public Bows for the bishop And bones for believers Chorus Rap, rap, rap on the lid Rap, rap, rap on the lid Bury them don't keep 'em etc
