I'm livin' in the 21st century
Doin' something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
…
No one man should have all that power
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours
Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power
'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours
…
Now this'll be a beautiful death
Jumpin' out the window
Lettin' everything go
Lettin' everything go
…
You got the power to let power come
My Boy Build Coffins-Florence and The Machine
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens they've all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Each one is unique, no two are the same
My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
That when each one's been made, he can't see it again
He crafts everyone with love and with care
Then its thrown in the ground and it just isn't fair
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you
“The song is about death being the great equalizer. Everyones going to die and then we shall all be in a coffin made by the same guy. We spend our whole lives trying to seperate ourselves and trying to put ourselves above others but in the end we all end up the very same. And the coffin builder knows this and thats why he only builds coffins, because he knows thats the only thing that he can give to everyone no matter who they are.”.
