lyrics

Everyone's dying of something
It's madness to think that we're not
But it's just a ride none of us will survive
So make the most of the time you have got
Everyone's dying of something
Few have their eye on the prize
We're all the same, yeah we all play this game
None of us will escpase with our lives

Everyone's dying of something
The only certain thing that I know
You can plead you can shout, You can try and hold out
But one day we all have to go
Everyone's dying of something
You can pretend it's not true
But sure as night follows day, there is not escape
That old reaper is coming for you

Everyone's dying of something
Not many know how to live
Let go of that grudge, show some neibourly love
Try to forget and forgive
Everyone's dying of something
Life has a limited span
We're her for a good time, not for along time
So live life as hard as you can

Everyone's dying of something
Other's have it better than some
But it's how you live with what life gives
That determines your place in the sun
Everyone's dying of something
Some folk are taken too soon
We see their light in the stars out at night
And their face in the man in the moon

Everyone's dying of something
It's madness to think that we're not
But it's just a ride none of us will survive
So make the most of the time you have got
