You'll Have Time

Live life, live life like you're gonna die

Because you're gonna

I hate to be the bearer of bad news

But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year

But before you know it you'll be saying

"Is this all there was?

What was all the fuss? Why did I bother?"

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it? Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

Yes it's gonna happen because

It's happened to a lot of people I know

My mother, my father, my loves

The President, the kings and the Pope they all had hope

And they muttered just before they went

Maybe, I won't let go

Live life like you're gonna die

Because you are

Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it? Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

I tell you who else left us

Passed on down to heaven no longer with us

Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones

Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone

Have I convinced you?

Do you read my lips?

This may come as news but it's time

You're gonna die, you're gonna die

By the time you hear this

I may well be dead

And you my friend might be next

'Cause we're all gonna die

Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it? Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time, you'll have time cause you're gonna die

Yes, you're gonna die

You're gonna die, I tell you

You're gonna die, you're gonna die

'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you have time to think

Why did I waste it? Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

Live life, life, life like you're gonna die

Because you're going to

Oh yes I hate to be the beater of bad news

But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year

But before you know it you'll be saying

"Is this all there was? What was all the fuss?

Why did I bother?

Y O U apostrophe R E G O double N A D I E die

You are gonna die

Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose

Choke on a chicken bone, hit by a lightning bolt

Heart attack, airplane crash

Car wreck, fucked up in your ass
