Death Insurance by Jessica Law Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I swam to the edges of the sea
It came to me I was deceased
Before we die we buy an afterlife
The rich can buy paradise
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
Too many born and dying
Death cannot lead to rebirth
Souls must be kept from flying
[Verse 2]
So I ran to the edges of the earth
To estimate what I was worth
I was worth a river and a field
Such a shame it wasn’t real
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
Too many born and dying
Death cannot lead to rebirth
Souls must be kept from flying
[Verse 3]
So I flew to the edges of the sky
To prove that I had truly died
Was this what I’d worked all my life to earn?
A gilded cage of no return? Will they learn?
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
We cannot grow forever
There’s no more room for rebirth
So we created heaven
When I swam to the edges of the sea
It came to me I was deceased
Before we die we buy an afterlife
The rich can buy paradise
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
Too many born and dying
Death cannot lead to rebirth
Souls must be kept from flying
[Verse 2]
So I ran to the edges of the earth
To estimate what I was worth
I was worth a river and a field
Such a shame it wasn’t real
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
Too many born and dying
Death cannot lead to rebirth
Souls must be kept from flying
[Verse 3]
So I flew to the edges of the sky
To prove that I had truly died
Was this what I’d worked all my life to earn?
A gilded cage of no return? Will they learn?
[Chorus]
Too many souls on the earth
We cannot grow forever
There’s no more room for rebirth
So we created heaven
