If sit-ups don't keep the scythe at bay
At least they look good on paper
Eden's most bizarre accident is but
One way to meet your maker
Down the hatch, I know that it's a tough pill to swallow
Can't outmatch what is certain
Well certainly not
Can't skip a fate so seldom sought
You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney
You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot
You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury
But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot
To rot
To rot
To rot
Did the patch and the gum but then
Drove straight into a house fire
We're all putty in the palms of that
Pesky ol' great equalizer
Doc says "you're as healthy as an appaloosa"
'Til the day those teeth in your mouth will start selling you out and they'll shoot ya
Fingers crossed more later than sooner
You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney
You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot
You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury
But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot
To rot
To rot
To rot
It's no night/knight at the beach, still you can't cheat at chess
We feel anxious adorned in our Sunday best
You got to pay respects
While our eyes scan the pews wondering who is going next
I guess it's all for the birds
When we become food for the worms
I guess it's all for the birds
When we become food for the worms
I guess it's all for the birds
When we become food for the worms
I guess it's all for the birds
For the birds
For the birds
For the birds
It's a tough pill, I know
Might get lodged in your throat
Just to be your time to go
You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney
You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot
You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury
But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot
To rot
To rot
To rot
Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)
Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)
Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)
Well everyone gets a turn to
