The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Hell" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"In the afterlife,
You could be heading for the serious strife,
Now you make the scene all day,
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay!

"In the afterlife, etc.

"People, listen attentively,
I mean about future calamity:
I used to think the idea was obsolete,
Until I heard the old man tapping his feet.

"This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body,
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And made into cakes which are passed around.

"In the afterlife, etc.

"Beauty, talent, fame, money,
Refinement, top skill, and brain,
But all the things that you try to hide,
Will be revealed on the other side.

"In the afterlife, etc.

"Now the D and the A and the M and the N
And the A and the T and the I-O-N,
Lose your face, lose your name,
Then get fitted for a suit of flame…"
