  • Here we go again
    Hands making circles
    That you can't turn back again
    Sky turning purple
    At the funeral of a friend
    Who wasn't ready for the ending yet

    He made a giant mess
    Sloppy disaster
    And he left it for the rest
    To clean up after
    Now the lawyers do their best
    To try to divvy up
    What's ever left

    In the ending you can bet
    Everyone feels cheated

    Kiss your ass good-bye
    Boy you're out of time
    You didn't choose life
    It's just your luck
    You got your turn now
    Give it up and
    Kiss your ass good-bye

    What's left to say
    When it's over everyone but you remains
    Little children will
    Still go out and play
    Just like it's any other sunny day
    Oh yeah

    In the ending you can bet
    Everyone's an equal

    Kiss your ass good-bye
    Dude you're past your prime
    First you loose your looks
    Then you loose your luck
    Take the hit now
    Pony up and
    Kiss your ass good-bye

    Everybody gets to go around one time
    (And they said it wouldn't last)
    After that baby gonna go bye-bye
    (Before you know it you're the past)
    Everybody got to check out sometime
    You go first
    I'll catch up right behind

    In the ending you can bet
    Everyone's a loser

    Kiss your ass good-bye
    Man it's closing time
    It never seems fair
    It's never enough
    Take a bow, pucker up and
    Kiss your ass good-bye
    (Nothing left to say, now that it's over you can)
    Kiss your ass good-bye, good-bye Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
