Song Lyrics

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

For real, 'cause it's your pain
When you feel it
It's your blood when you bleed it
It's your loss when you lose
Agree or disagree

That's why when you talk it
It's through your own teeth
And when you gota to walk it
It's with your own feet

Remember that when it's your grief
And it's you who feels the heat
Infestation of fleas
People itching to critique
About success, they stress
And sneer at your defeats
Don't need no raised eye-brows
Or looks of disbelief
F*ck all the deceit
That they all got up in 'em
Nobody fights your battles
It's you who gots to win 'em
When you feel everybody
Wants to see you in ruin
Don't pay no nevermind
Keep on doing what you're doing

I'm the one who's gonna have to die
When it's time for them to die
So if you don't like the way I live
You can kiss my ass

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

They're your boots you gonna stand in
It's your skin that you're stranded
No one else has a hand
In what fate has commanded
It's your soul that is crammed in
And your brain is rammed in
Your life, you have to plan it
No one else will do the program
So imagine, why people
Want in your soap opera, improper
How best friends will
Always try to stop ya
Sit back and relax
In your lazy-boy rocker
Make them the ones to ponder
On how they're gonna stop ya

Well it's a shame
When it's time to pass the blame
You take it frame by frame
When it's time to play the game
And no it's never the same
When it's them that's in the rain
When it's you who gets the cane
It's you who feels the pain
Or the stain
When you are faced down in the grass
So everybody gather around
And raise your glass
'Cause no one's gonna die your death
When it's time to pass
So live like you feel
And tell em to kiss your ass

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to

I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
I'm the one who's gonna die
When it's time for me to die
Live my life the way I want to
