I Must Die Because I Have to Live Lyrics

In the beginning, God created

It was not judged, it was not rated

So creativity is sacred

But they've turned it into something crassly graded

So when the vein's slit with words bladed

The well drunk dry, the storehouse raided

And one is left with naught but to fake it

Pass off as solid gold what really is gold plated, then

Well, I must die because I have to live

Seems this I is all I have to give

So does the party make us famous

All that glitters, well can you blame us

Your proof humanity is shameless

Although the apple and its knowledge overcame us

Do you feel pleasure when you game us

Are you jealous, so seek to maim us

Yet still all secretive and nameless

Well if you cannot make your case fit you can frame us

I must die because I have to live

Seems this I is all I have to give

I must die because I have to live

Seems this I is all I have to give

What starts out major, ends diminished

The cup sits empty, can't be replenished

The thread begins to split where it's thinnest

And now it seems my little diatribe is finished
