lyrics

Paramedics brave and strong
Up before the break of dawn
Putting poker faces on
Broken bodies all day long
The neighbours heard a fight
Someone had a knife
Its must have been the wife
Husbands lost a lot of blood
He wakes up screaming "Oh my God!
Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die?"
As they strapped his arms down to his sides
In times like these they'd been taught to lie
"Buddy, just calm down you'll be alright."

Several friends came to his grave
His children were so well behaved
As the priest got up to speak
The assembly craved relief
But he himself had given up
So instead he offered them this bitter cup
"You're gonna die.
We're all gonna die.
Could be twenty years, could be tonight
See lately I have been wondering why
We go through so much trouble to postpone the unavoidable
and prolong the pain of being alive."
