Possessed (Is The Way To Be) Lyrics

Alright, let's try to get this right on the first take, for cryin' out loud

One, two



Well, I've had my car, my phone,

My trailer, my home repossessed

And I've had my boots, my wife,

My truck and my life repossessed



But I never thought it would happen to me

It feels as if the government came after me

I've been possessed by a spirit from beyond the grave

I've become the afterlife's loyal slave

They've repossessed nearly everything from me

So I've reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be



Well, I've had my harp, my sink

My pipe and my drinks repossessed

And I had my dog, my beer

My mom and my tears repossessed



But I never thought it would happen to me

It feels as if the government came after me

Yeah, I've been possessed by a spirit from beyond the grave

Well, I've become the afterlife's loyal slave

Well who'd have guessed that they'd take everything from me?

I've reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be

Let's go!



Now I've had my body, my mind

My soul and my time repossessed

And I've had my horse, my clothes

My eyes, ears and nose repossessed



But I can't believe I let this happen to me

It feels as if the government came after me

I've been possessed by spirits from beyond the grave

I've become the afterlife's loyal slave

But I pay no bills and all my plumbing's free

'cause I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be

I got no job, and that's just fine by me

'cause I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be

I'll prob'ly live to be one hundred and sixty-three

I reassessed my situation and possessed is the way to be
