You can't escape life just because you stopped living 
But you're dead the same second you decide to just give in 
And given the choice between your own life and death 
I suggest that you cherish the time you have left 
'Cause time waits for no one and we're all growing older 
I've found myself looking more over my shoulder 
I like to say [bad word] it I could be dead tomorrow 
I deal with the stress the pain and the sorrow 

Life will kill you, in the end we're all gonna die 
Life will kill you, it doesn't matter how hard you try 
Life will kill you, even if you don't give a [bad word] 
What part of your own death is that you don't understand 
 [bad word] in all sizes all shapes and all colours 
But we like to believe that it only happens to others 
The closer we get we try to avoid it 
We've tampered with nature so much we've destroyed it 
It slips through our fingers the more we live 
What the [bad word] are we thinking acting like we control it 
It's a cold fact of life but we should try to be brave 
How brave can you be with one foot in the grave 

Life will kill you, in the end we're all gonna die 
Life will kill you, it doesn't matter how hard you try 
Life will kill you, even if you don't give a [bad word] 
What part of your own death is that you don't understand 

Life will kill you
Life will kill you
Life will kill you
Life will kill you

Life will kill you, it's all a part of the great big plan 
Life will kill you, even if you're in a rock and roll band 
Life will kill you, so you might as well enjoy each breath 
Life will kill you, and now you're three minutes closer to death
