Life Will Kill You

you can't escape life just because you stopped living

but you're dead the same second you decide to just give in

and given the choice between your own life and death

i suggest that you cherish the time you have left

'cause time waits for no one and we're all growing older

i've found myself looking more over my shoulder

i like to say fuck it i could be dead tommorow

and deal with the stress the pain and the sorrow

Chorus:

life will kill you, in the end we're all gonna die

life will kill you, it doesn't matter how hard you try

life will kill you, even if you don't give a damn

what part of your own death that you don't understand

death comes in all sizes all shapes and all colours

but we like to believe that it only happens to others

the closer we get we try to avoid it

we've tampered with nature so much we've destroyed it

it slips through our fingers the more we live

what the fuck are we thinking acting like we control it

it's a cold fact of life but we should try to be brave

how brave can you be with one foot in the grave

Chorus

what part of your own death that you don't understand

life will kill you (x5), it's all a part of the great big plan

life will kill you, even if you're in a rock and roll band

life will kill you, so you might as well enjoy each breath

and now you're three minutes closer to death
