Discover the story of the song > Calling in the Coroner – vio-lence

The song is about a coroner who collects and examines dead bodies. He doesn't have any emotions towards the bodies and thinks it's not necessary to have a funeral or ceremony for them. He is proud of his work and is shown on TV, and although the grieving families are proud of their son, he sees his job as just dealing with the mess that surrounds him. The song ends with the repetition of the word "coroner" and the idea that he collects dead bodies.
