lyrics

welcome to mortality

C G7 F Fm C C/B A7 D7 G

you're gonna die.
it ain't gonna be nice.
one minute you're here
the next you got worms dining out on your eyes.
your mom might think you're special,
your pop might own wall street
but in the end baby you're just a rotting piece of meat.

you're gonna die.
if you're lucky it'll be clean.
nobody wants their last impression to be the white outline at a murder scene.
but don't hold your breath
baby it could be you.
a cold knife in the back from someone you thought loved you true.

get shot, get stabbed, get hit by a cab.
fall down the stairs or commit suicide because nobody cares.
dehydration, disintegration, auto-erotic asphyxiation,
killer cancer, common cold, there's so many ways.
and in the end, really what's the loss?
one less self centered, hubris guilty walking corpse.

you're gonna die.
the saddest thing is so am i.
the best that i can really hope for is that it's you who is next in line.
they cry carpe diem, darling seize the day
but if you live like there's no tomorrow
you'll spend the rest of your life in jail.

F C G F C

yeah, we're all gonna die.
