I've been slowly coming to senses About life and all its ways Death and darkness, mortality I will see the end of my days. With this realization, see, I'm seeing more and more In life I've got to do nothing But if not, it'd be a bore. There is one thing that we all got It's inescapable You can fight and cry all you want Eluding is incapable. Someday we'll lay down six feet under Dressed up for worms and dirt Peaceful sleeping, no more worry For a while your family will hurt. There's only one thing we have to do That's dying, there, you see, The only thing we have to do Is live, then cease to be.
