Everybody's gonna die
Don't it make you wanna cry
Don't it make you wanna
Kick, and scream, and act obscene in everyway
Before they put in the grave
Not everybody's gonna live
'Cause livin' is for the rich
But everybody's gonna suffer
Suffer something fierce and pass away
And then they'll dump you in the grave
But before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
And before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
Everybody's gonna die
Stick a needle in an eye
Poke at the cuts
And tell them not to drive us nuts
Until we're gone, and going slow
Not everybody's gonna live
'Cause living's hard when you're
Involved with the bottle
But God bless the bottle
Till we're gone, and going slow
But before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
And before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
And it breaks our heart
Or it makes us cry
Or it makes 'em die
Or it drives us mad
It's a lonesome song
And it brings us down down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down down down
Down down down down
Everybody's gonna die
Don't it make you wanna cry
Don't it make you wanna
Kick, and scream, and act obscene in everyway
Before they put in the grave
Not everybody's gonna live
'Cause livin' is for the rich
But everybody's gonna suffer
Suffer something fierce and pass away
And then they'll dump you in the grave
But before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
And before we have gone
We can, everyone, sing along
We can sing because
Someday we'll be gone
We must sing because
Someday we'll be gone
