Nobody's Funeral

At Nobody’s funeral no guests appeared No priest came to serve the last rites No one sent flowers, no one volunteered To carry the coffin outside So what’s about funeral, is it a hoax? It does seem like hallucination Or one of those flat unintelligent jokes Some share to get brief attention If it’s real, I’d like to attend, count me then I’ll come, if you have the address We'll bury that ever-recurring old man Who caused such a terrible mess He shall be buried as soon as it takes Just tell me the date, send a scheme But this time it shouldn’t be any mistakes I must be assured if its him Whose soul was as hollow as trunk of a reed Who had nothing to say but the lies Fake and evil was pretty much all that he did What a joy that he finally dies A solace of freedom and peace comes again After war people like to feel free We cannot be judged for the crimes of armed men Much too busy with love are we Nobody is dead, breaking news on the top Swan Lake’s on the TV all day Four little cygnets are dancing non stop Odette in the wings drinks champagne.
