Everybody Gotta Go

Everybody's gotta go sometime

But I'm so far from ready

Ain't gonna let it mess my mind

I'm gonna keep on rockin' steady

Don't you know

Everybody's gotta go sometime

You can drink

You can smoke

You can do your dope

Take a pill to ease your tension


You can dose and dose until you overdose

It's called suicide prevention


But don't you know

Everybody's gotta go

Everybody's gotta go sometime

But I'm so far from ready


Ain't gonna let it mess my mind

I'm gonna keep on rockin' steady

Don't you know

Lord don't you know

Don't you know

We all gotta go sometime

Take monkeys and rabbits and little white rats

Shoot 'em full of this and that


There's cancer in your food cancer in the air

Cancer in your cigarettes


Take vitamin C, B-12 and E,

For your eyes teeth skin and bones


But when the good Lord calls you can forget it all

Don't you know you're good as gone

Don't you know

Lord don't you know


Don't you know

We all gotta go sometime

You can drink you can smoke you can do your dope

Take a pill to ease your tension


You can dose and dose until you overdose

It's called suicide prevention

But don't you know

Everybody's gotta go

Everybody's gotta go sometime

But I'm so far from ready


Ain't gonna let it mess my mind

I'm gonna keep on rockin' steady

Everybody know everybody gotta go sometime


That's means me and you baby

As long as we're goin' to heaven I don't mind
