The priest took off his collar Started wearing it like a headband He said X's and O's, fingers and toes Now you want to kiss a dead man Do you want to kiss a dead man Sun coming over the mountain Nobody's telling the truth That fire you started down in Chaparral Burned everybody that you knew It burned everybody that you knew Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't no one gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you It burned north through the county Like a fire's been known to do It's been on your trail Now it's on your tail And it's surrounding you It's surrounding you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't nothin' gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't nothin' gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you It's coming after you They're coming after you They're coming after you

I prayed to God that the angel of music Would come down and give me a song That the words would be true and say something so new That the world would start singing along And I was surprised when the angel replied With a note that he stuck to my door That said, "Nobody wants to hear songs anymore" I wrote a song for the love of my life And I bled into every note And I poured out my soul and surrendered control Into each line and lyric I wrote But when I finished singing, my lover just yawned And continued to stare at the floor Saying, "Nobody wants to hear songs anymore" Oh, when did it all get so boring? How did it all get so bad? Why does nobody care for a story? Swallowing hooks without lines or intentional rhymes But whatever, as long as we dance So pull down the staging and cancel the show Tell all the bands to go home Burn the piano and tear up the score 'Cause nobody wants to hear songs anymore
