[Verse 1]

We were shooting at a mountain of dirt

Well, nothing was broken, nothing was hurt

But I probably really should have been at work

But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?

[Chorus]

That you will please bury me with it!

Please bury me with it!

[Verse 2]

Well, as sure as planets come, I know that they end

And if I'm here when that happens

You promise me this, my friend

[Chorus]

Please bury me with it!

I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit!

[Verse 3]

Well, the suit got tight and it split at the seams

But I kept it out of habit and I kept it real clean

But if it's getting faded, if it's running out of thread

Could you do this for me, my friend?

[Chorus]

And please just please bury me with it!

Please bury me with it!

[Verse 4]

Well, we moved to the left and we moved to the right

And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night

But if the party's over, if the fun has to end

Could you do this for me, my friend?

[Chorus]

Would you just please bury me with it?

Please bury me with it!

[Bridge]

Good news for people who love bad news

We've lost the plot and we just can't choose

We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

And there's good news for people who love bad news

We are hummingbirds who lost the plot and we will not move

We have good news for anyone who loves bad news

[Verse 5]

We were aiming for the moon, we were shooting at the stars

But the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars

So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air

And if it's gotten to that point, then I have to declare

[Chorus]

That you could please bury me with it!

Please bury me with it!

[Verse 6]

Well, fads, they come and fads, they go

And God, I love that rock and roll!

Well, the point was fast, but it was too blunt to miss

Life handed us a paycheck

We said, "We worked harder than this!"

[Chorus]

Please bury me with it!

Please bury me with it!

Oh shit, now!

[Outro]

We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

And there's good news for people who love bad news

We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move

We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
