You Can'T Take It With You

Take a trip with me Out to the bloody sea View sin and misery Then dive right in and take a swim Inside the den of iniquity Experience your fears And shed a couple tears Get tortured by your peers Play show and tell with the wishing well While you burn in hell for a thousand years When you set a goal You will pay a toll And fall into a hole You scream and shout, but you can’t get out And you start to doubt your immortal soul The thoughts inside your brain They cause internal pain They leave a mental stain The darkening skies and your blood-shot eyes Make you realize that you’ve gone insane Whether you are good or bad it doesn’t matter at all You’ve just got to realize you’re headed for a fall For all your greed and selfishness you’re in for a surprise Enjoy it while you’re here---because you can’t take it with you
