Requiem for a prick

Listen to the organs,
They’re playing for you
It’s dreadful, that tune.
I hope you like it —
It’s pretty nice, ain't it?
It’s the requiem for a prick
 
Yeah, I composed it specially for you,
For your villainous memory.
It’s a lovely theme,
Don’t you think?
— No?
A lot like yourself,
You sad prick.
 
Here the organs
Come back in.
You've gotta know it by heart, that tune,
To the point you don’t even got
Any hesitation
About the requiem for a prick.
 
What are you looking at me like that for?
—You don’t appreciate it?
But what’s in it
You don’t like?
For me, it’s all the same
Whether you like it or not
—I’m playin' it for you again regardless,
You sad prick.
