Everyone Gets a Turn to Rot Lyrics

If sit-ups don't keep the scythe at bay

At least they look good on paper

Eden's most bizarre accident is but

One way to meet your maker

Down the hatch, I know that it's a tough pill to swallow

Can't outmatch what is certain

Well certainly not

Can't skip a fate so seldom sought

You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney

You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot

You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury

But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot

To rot

To rot

To rot

Did the patch and the gum but then

Drove straight into a house fire

We're all putty in the palms of that

Pesky ol' great equalizer

Doc says "you're as healthy as an appaloosa"

'Til the day those teeth in your mouth will start selling you out and they'll shoot ya

Fingers crossed more later than sooner

You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney

You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot

You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury

But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot

To rot

To rot

To rot

It's no night/knight at the beach, still you can't cheat at chess

We feel anxious adorned in our Sunday best

You got to pay respects

While our eyes scan the pews wondering who is going next

I guess it's all for the birds

When we become food for the worms

I guess it's all for the birds

When we become food for the worms

I guess it's all for the birds

When we become food for the worms

I guess it's all for the birds

For the birds

For the birds

For the birds

It's a tough pill, I know

Might get lodged in your throat

Just to be your time to go

You can barter and haggle trying to keep yourself off a gurney

You can plead for some more before dirt gets poured in your plot

You can hope to find significance in the sound and fury

But don't worry, everyone gets a turn to rot

To rot

To rot

To rot

Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)

Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)

Everyone gets a turn to (Turn to rot)

Well everyone gets a turn to
