From SpinTunes #3: Round 1 - If You're Happy And You Know It Raise The Dead

Write a happy song about death. (2 minute minimum)

lyrics

There once was a time when I had prospects.
I was always anxious for what was in store
but here in this hospital bed,
I'm smiling, 'cause I'll soon be dead,
and I won't be worrying about it anymore

It's not like I wanted this to happen.,
It's not like I was hoping for it all to end.
Been cut down in my prime,
and I'm glad I'm nearly out of time,
Because dying means i don't have to pretend.

And I won't be worried about the rent or my job or the laundry
I won't be bothered by the anthills on the front lawn,
and I won't be worried about another single thing from this point on,
Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone.

I don't know why I feel the need to say this
I guess it could be the drugs they put in my veins,
but don't let that take away from what it is I'm trying to say;
my mind is clear, no fear, no threat, no pain.

And I won't be worried about the rent or my job or the laundry
And I won't be bothered by the anthills on the front lawn,
And I won't be worried about another single thing from this point on,
Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone.

And I won't be worried about the war or disease or recession,
and I won't be bothered by the way the world has gone wrong.
And I won't be worried about another single thing from this point on,
Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone.

Because this time tomorrow, I'll be gone.
