lyrics

If You Live Long Enough (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

(CHORUS) if You Live Long Enough... you're bound to die...
I can't see no way around it, maybe that's the reason why...
we should take advantage of every chance that happens to pass by...
if You Live Long Enough... you're bound to die... (twice)

(verse) too many people have a life that's full of fear... so many
ways for it to end are all too clear, from a tsunami to an earthquake,
to an avalanche, if you're disaster prone you don't stand a chance...
might as well appreciate the fact that you're still here... (CHORUS)

(verse) paranoia seems to be the driving force... we use guarantees,
warranties, and insurance to stay the course... from your health, to
your house, to your hybrid car, those policies decide how secure you
are and that monthly paycheck of yours can only stretch so far (CHORUS)

(verse) maybe one day, as a culture, we will learn... the many bridges
we build don't necessarily have to burn... because, life at its finest
is merely a gamble, fear's meant to remind us not to leave it a shamble
so as you scramble along don't forget to take your turn... (CHORUS)
