It's All Right For Them

When it's my turn
To be put in the ground,
I'd love to be there
To see who's around.

Who's shedding tears
And actually grieving,
Is anyone smirking
Glad at my leaving.

I hope it pours down
As they lower me in,
I'd watch them squirming
Getting soaked to the skin.

I'm not really bitter
But it's all right for them
For I'll not see sunshine,
Ever again.
