Sweeney Todd's Statement on Life

There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And it's filled with people
Who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world
In habit it --
But not for long!
They all deserve to die!
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett,
Tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett,
There are two kinds of men and only two.
There's the one staying put
In his proper place
And the one with his foot
In the other one's face.
Look at me, Mrs. Lovett,
Look at you.
No, we all deserve to die,
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett,
Tell you why.
Because the lives of the wicked should be --
Made brief.
For the rest of us, death
Would be a relief --
We all deserve to die!
