Death Can Wait

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
'Cause in the swirl of chaos, they're all one and the same
(None of us, none of us, none of us)
None of us chose to be here, but we're privileged to stay
(The only thing, the only thing, 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
You can't keep living like (death can wait)
Death can wait

'Cause some would kill for what some squander every day
Lessen the misery of wealth
Haves share in the have-nots' pain (haves share in the have-nots' pain)
What doesn't kill you makes us 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
You 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
You 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)
