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.
