Story behind the song

This song rolled around in my head until I saw the James Farr's webshow "Xombie", which inspired me to flesh it out (/pun) and record it.

Lyrics

“Dead People”
Capers Simmons

 INTRO/OUTRO
Dead people got no problems
And nobody tells them to try
They just dead people and
Dead people don’t cry

VERSE I
Dead people got big coffins
With satin and linen all around
They just sit rottin’ in their
Big coffins underground

CHORUS I
Live people got big issues
Live people got soft tissues, and
Live people got big wishes not to die
But I don’t know why, ‘cause

VERSE II
Dead people got no worries
Nobody’s rushing, they got no hurry
They just decayin’ while the
Live folks’ prayin; for they souls

CHORUS II
Live people gotta act godly, ‘cause
Live people got warm bodies and
Before those bodies go cold 
They gotta get in good with the Lord
That’s what they told, but

VERSE III
Dead people are truly peaceful
With nothing they fighting for
They just pure equals, that’s why
Dead people don’t war

Dead people can be completely honest
You don’t have to look in they eye
They just dead people and
Dead people can’t lie

CHORUS III
Live people got no answers, but
Live people got five senses that can
Taste, smell, hear, see, feel what
Dead people don’t perceive, but I believe

VERSE IV
Dead people got a sweet situation
They never can feel no pain
Dead people got it made in the grave
They don’t complain, they remain
Dead people with no purpose
Dead people with rigor mortis, just
Decomposing while you 
Lay them roses on they bones

~ OUTRO ~
