Alright, let's try to get this right on the first take, for cryin' out loud
One, two
Well, I've had my car, my phone
My trailer, my home repossessed
And I've had my boots, my wife
My truck and my life repossessed
But I never thought it would happen to me
It feels as if the government came after me
I've been possessed by a spirit from beyond the grave
I've become the afterlife's loyal slave
They've repossessed nearly everything from me
So I've reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
Well, I've had my harp, my sink
My pipe and my drinks repossessed
And I had my dog, my beer
My mom and my tears repossessed
But I never thought it would happen to me
It feels as if the government came after me
Yeah, I've been possessed by a spirit from beyond the grave
Well, I've become the afterlife's loyal slave
Well who'd have guessed that they'd take everything from me?
I've reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
Let's go!
Now I've had my body, my mind
My soul and my time repossessed
And I've had my horse, my clothes
My eyes, ears and nose repossessed
But I can't believe I let this happen to me
It feels as if the government came after me
I've been possessed by spirits from beyond the grave
I've become the afterlife's loyal slave
But I pay no bills and all my plumbing's free
'cause I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
I got no job, and that's just fine by me
'cause I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
I'll prob'ly live to be one hundred and sixty-three
I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
