With one foot in life and the other in the grave
You can't keep living like death can wait

You can't praise other's fortune
and then curse at your own fate
Because in the swirl of chaos they're
they're all one in the same
None of us chose to be here, but we're privileged to stay
The only thing holding us back, our own twisted games

We recall too easily the way misery tastes
Own up, face it, scream loud its name
With one foot in life and the other in the grave
We can't keep living like death can wait
Death can wait

Some would kill for what some squander every day
Lessen the misery of wealth
Have share in the have-nots' pain
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every day
None of us chose to be here but we're privileged to stay

Solomon tried to warn us, greed is a lonely road we pave
It's what we do for others that will reach past the grave

We recall too easily the way misery tastes
Own up, face it, scream loud its name
With one foot in life and the other in the grave
We can't keep living like death can wait
Death can wait
Everything in this world comes at a price (Death can wait)
Don't lose your common sense
Don't waste away for the good life

We recall too easily the way misery tastes
Own up, face it, scream loud its name
With one foot in life and the other in the grave
We can't keep living like death can wait
You can't bask in the glow, living in the shade
We can't keep living like death can wait
