Lyrics

To Be Or Not To Be

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ten men at the funeral queue

The great cadaver they do view

In the brain the blood clot

Another ten their livers rot

To be or not to be

A hundred revolution plot

Change the world without a shot

They dream of sweet revenge

Another hundred round the bend

To be or not to be

A thousand haven’t got a friend

They’re lonely right until the end

A thousand fires on the railway line

A thousand bottles of red wine

A hundred thousand nights divine

A hundred thousand pearls and swines

A million tears

A million fears

A million laughs

A million cheers

To be or not to be

If looks could kill a million spears

A million get me out of here

A billion heartbeats

A billion breaths

A billion pounds

They all invest

To be or not to be
