Lyrics
The dead cockroach approached the jury Well aware of its intentions to be hung He was charged with, FIRST DEGREE DISORDERLY DIRTINESS (and trespassing) The end came quick Before he knew He’d took the stand And swore I do The lawyer asked him for the truth The cockroach said I have no truth And then he plead why should I care No matter what you’ll be unfair I’m just a bug Who had his dreams Who had his hopes And self-esteem But in this world There is no God There is no love There is no hope Because of how I look you see I just can’t live I just can’t be He opened up his wings and flew And then a man took out his shoe And whacked him to the floor real quick And said this whole thing made him sick The cockroach still with words to speak Was almost dead and very weak But rather leave him there for dead They sliced his legs and then his head And that’s how all was meant to be The cockroach dead why not a flea or bee or even me
