No matter how we live
Life is hard
No matter who we are
We're doomed from the start
A few crazy decades
To laugh and to cry
When all's said and done
We're Born To Die
My grandmother said it
Talking to herself
I picked up on it
And say it myself
There are no answers
Still we ask why
When all's said and done
We're Born To die
Life without meaning
Life without purpose
Life with no hope
Going in circles
I'm thinking of Hamlet
Clad in black
No one who leaves here
Ever comes back
A few crazy decades
To laugh and to cry
When all's said and done
We're Born To Die
