We're All Gonna Die

(album: Andrew Jackson Jihad / O Pioneers!!! - 2011)

We're all gonna die.
This is true.
It's true for me and it's true for you.
But we could live a little longer if we put our minds to it.
The Light Rail runs from 5 to 11.
I'll have your daughter home by seven.
If I play my cards right,
we'll get real high and ride the lightning.
But we can't ride all night.
The city needs the money from the DUIs
and the cameras they put on the freeway to catch us speeding.

April 1st 2002,
I was riding my bike to school
and I was hit by a Chevrolet,
but no one believed me.
It was April Fool's day.
December 25th 2008
at 3:25 a.m.,
I am standing in the middle of a room full of sleeping men,
counting them.
How did I get here?
I deserve to be loved!
How did I get here?
What made me need this money so much?!

Who knows where we go
when we die?
Who cares? I'm just glad to be alive.
Who knows where we go
when we die?
Who cares? I'm just glad to be alive!
Who cares? I'm just glad to be alive!
Who cares? I'm just glad to be alive!
