Sooner or Later

Sooner or Later - M. Bulteau

If your dear mama does not give a damn

And thinks an abortion is very fine,

Or if you get old and some dreadful day

Your faithful pace-maker decides to resign.

Someday you'll notice your hearts no longer pound.

Sooner or later you'll all be underground!

If you get off-road while you're driving home

And happen to be heading for a cliff,

Or usually smoke three packs a day

Or if you give white powder just one more sniff.

Someday you'll notice your hearts no longer pound.

Sooner or later you'll all be underground!

There's always a funnier way to go,

Like tripping and drowning inside a moat,

Or choking while eating a tiny pretzel

Or crossing a highway while reading a note.

Someday you'll notice your hearts no longer pound.

Sooner or later you'll all be underground!

Someday you'll notice your hearts no longer pound.

Sooner or later you'll all, we mean it!

All, believe it!

All be underground!

These are (well) translated to english from a mini-pseudo-musical satire of the world by the four horsemen of the apocalypse staged by me three years ago. Death sings this one. It's waltzy. xD

Crappy MIDI so you have a notion of how it sounds.

The lyric felt waltzy to me.

Can we have a few more details about this? Who wrote the original lyrics? Who wrote this English translation? Who wrote the music?

I'm not certain what exactly is up for critique and discussion here, though I like the lyric.

I wrote the lyrics, I translated them (I prefer the translation), it's my music, and it was staged by me. xD

The singer was nice, but it was in portuguese and I have no recording. :P
