Dividing The Estate Lyrics - Peace Queer - Snider Todd

A petal falls from a dying rose 

Into the wind it blows through fate 

While down below the ground there grows 

Another rose that can hardly wait 

Well, well, well, well 

Well, well, well, well 

Well, well, well, well 

You know my uncle finally died of a heart attack 

Bustin' with pride he was way overweight 

There was hardly anybody at the funeral 

Besides the ones who thought they might divide the estate 

Well, well, well 

The preacher couldn't tell us everything that he did 

But he said every kinda thing that he could 

Mostly focusing on long ago when he was just a kid 

And his intentions had all been so good 

Well, well, well 

A petal falls from a dying rose 

Into the wind it blows through fate 

While down below the ground there grows 

Another rose that can hardly wait 

Oh, well, well, well, well 

Oh, well, well, well, well 

Oh, well, well, well, well 

My mother said when he was younger he was skinnier 

And kinder and funnier and humble as a white picket fence 

As he got older he got fatter, left his wife for something younger 

Started showing up here drunker makin' less and less sense 

Less and less sense, oh 

A petal falls from a dying rose 

Into the wind it blows through fate 

While down below the ground there always grows 

Another rose that can hardly wait 

My uncle Sam finally died of a heart attack 

He's burstin' with pride way overweight 

So through the eye of a needle on the camel's back 

The American dream hits the Pearly Gate 

Well, well, well, well 

Oh, well, well, well, well 

Oh, well, well, well, well 

Well, well, well, well, yeah 

Getting used to it
