REM Change lyrics to 'Everybody Hurts' After Meeting Nitschke



When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang yourself
Just let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (top yourself, top yourself)
If you feel like letting go, (throw in the towel)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well go to Beachy Head

'Cause everybody hurts. Take it out on your friends
Everybody hurts. Just throw your hand. Oh, yes. Just throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, yes, yes, yes, you are alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, do it, do it
do it, end it, top yourself, do it, give up, give up
Everybody hurts. You are alone

One question - are they mocking him or supporting him? It could be either.
