Paramedics brave and strong
|
Up before the break of dawn
|
Putting poker faces on
|
Broken bodies all day long
|
The neighbors heard a fight
|
Someone had a knife
|
It must have have been the wife
|
Husband's 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
|
At 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
|
Lately I have been wondering why
|
We go to so much trouble to postpone the unavoidable
|
And prolong the pain of being alive"
