"This is just the way of the world", Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then he lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man
I caught him laying with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"

Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Good friends 'til the end
And they're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet

"This is just the way of the world", Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then he lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man
I caught him laying with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"

It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet

"This is just the way of the world", Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then he lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said, "Fred I just killed a man
I caught him laying with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"

"This is just the way of the world", Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then he lit up a cigarette

And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"
