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"
