Lyrics for Supposed To Rot

Stubborn old, worthless hag Simply had nothing to give I couldn't stand eternal nag You didn't deserve to live I went to the stove and took a pork knife Placed it to your head Buried you in the fruit cellar I was glad 'cause I thought you were dead But the maggots didn't feast on your body You didn't get moldy as I thought And still I can hear you nag in my head You were supposed to rot You're supposed to rot Now she haunts me day and night A haunting I can't forget The deed was a coldblooded homicide A murder I regret But still she's the same old hag And still my life has turned the same Isn't there anything to set me free From this wicked pain? You were supposed to rot Yeah
