Lyrics:
Consider your high station
Think about your fame
All of your creation depended on your frame
Ain’t no doubt about it:
Flesh can set the tone
But when you get down to the rhythm, man
You get right down to the bone
All about the bones (4x)
Some will make you stronger
Others make you tall
But don’t make no bones about it, man
You got some don’t work at all
Some will make you ugly
Others make you smile
It don’t matter-
They all clatter when they end up on the pyres
All about the bones (4x)
Grim Reaper comes a calling
Says “It’s time to go”
You say, “Ok, I’m coming”
Yeah, you’re moving mighty slow
Then you say “I don't belong here
They told me I was saved”
He points one boney finger
He says “Get back in your grave”
All about the bones (4x)
Now down at the graveyard
You got your handsome stone
With your names and all your numbers
But there ain’t nobody home
They say “Here lies the body…”
Body there’ll be none
He used to be somebody
Now he’s nothing but the bones
All about the bones (4x)
The bones
All about the bones
The bones
Right from the beginning
It was all about the bones
