Priests and Paramedics |
Paramedics, brave and strong |
up before the break of dawn |
putting poker faces on broken bodies all day long |
the neighbors heard a fight |
someone had a knife |
it must have been the wife |
the husband’s lost a lot of blood |
he wakes up screaming «oh my god» |
Am I gonna die? |
Am I gonna die? |
as they strapped his arms down to his sides |
in times like these they’ve been taught to lie |
«buddy just calm down, you’ll be alright» |
several friends came to his grave |
his children were so well behaved |
as the priest gone up to speak |
the assembly craved relief |
but he himself not giving up So instead he offered them this bitter cup |
you’re gonna die |
we’re all gonna die |
Could be 20 years, could be tonight |
Lately I have been wondering why |
We go to so much trouble |
To postpone the unavoidable |
And prolong the pain of being alive |
