I like it    I don't like it

You'll Have Time

(William Shatner/Ben Folds)


Live life

Live life like you're gonna die

Becasue you're gonna

I hate to be the bearer of bad news

But you're gonna die


Maybe not today or even next year

But before you know it you'll be saying

"Is this all there was?

What was all the fuss?

Why did I bother?"


Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it?

Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time

Because you're gonna die.


Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know

My mother, my father, my loves

The president, the kings and the pope

They all had hope


And they muttered just before they went

Maybe, I won't let go

Live life like you're gonna die

Because you are


Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it?

Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time

'Cause you're gonna die


I tell you who else left us

Passed on down to heaven no longer with us

Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones

Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone

Have I convinced you?

Do you read my lips?

This may come as news but it's time

You're gonna die

You're gonna die


By the time you hear this I may well be dead

And you my friend might be next

'Cause we're all gonna die


Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick

But you'll have time to think

Why did I waste it?

Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time

You'll have time cause you're gonna die

Yes, you're gonna die

You're gonna die, I tell you

You're gonna die

You are gonna die


'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick

But you have time to think

Why did I waste it?

Why didn't I taste it?

You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die


Live Life

Life life like you're gonna die

Because you're going to

Oh yes

I hate to be the beater of bad news

But you're gonna die


Maybe not today or even next year

But before you know it you'll be saying

"Is this all there was?

What was all the fuss?

Why did I bother?

Why did I waste it?

Why didn't I taste it?"

You'll have time, baby

You'll have time

'Cause you're gonna die

You are gonna die

Oh yeah
