Lyrics
You can bet your arse that your death is coming
As sure as God made guilt and regret
You could wear out the leather on your good boots running
Or go fetch your best chair and just sit there
Cancer is a mean one in anyone's eyes
But at least it means you get to say goodbye
Unlike being a civilian casualty in a meaningless war
No one knows what they're dying for
The reaper don't mind the wait
And you can bet your life that he don't discriminate
The end means nothing at the end, my friend
When it's time to go, whether sudden or slow
He's not just the last one you see, but the first one to know
You can fight with depression for your whole life through
If you fall in the battle, there's no medal for you
No one calls you brave, no one said you tried
You won't be a hero in anyone's eyes
Oh, the reaper don't mind the wait
And you can bet your life that he don't discriminate
The end means nothing at the end, my friend
When it's time to go, whether sudden or slow
He's not just the last one you see, but the first one to know
