Bulletproof Vest

from O Giver of Dreams by Ingeborg von Agassiz

lyrics

[Chorus]
 Going south, south for the winter
That’s what I’m gonna do next year
Going south, south for the winter
That’s what I say every year

The old man, he is finally at rest
He wrote his own obituary and it is the best
He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,”
“My mind is free but it once was possessed!”
[Repeat Chorus]

The old man, he is finally at rest
He owes it all to the heart in his chest
He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,”
“I once owned my home but it’s been repossessed!”
[Repeat Chorus]

The old man wonders why they are upset
They cry over his grave and try not to forget
He says, “Look at me now with my bulletproof vest,”
“Put a smile on your face, that’s my humble request!”
[Repeat Chorus]
