dead & buried

one day i'm gonna be
dead & buried in the cemetery
that makes it hard for me to give a damn
about where i'm at & who i am
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
the success we achieve will soon go bust
it's time to decide what i will allow
i got to live for the moment & that moment is now

chorus:
'cause one day i'm gonna be
dead & buried in the cemetery
all my action will be history
and no one is going to remember me
is this life but a story i write
while awaiting the moment i step in the light

one day i will be dead
no one remembering the things i said
stand around with false tears in their eyes
talking good things about me, most of them lies
they never knew the true me
'cause i hide it away so no one could see
living my life in a fantasy
instead of bring my dreams to reality

chorus:

why care what i do
we'll all be dead, we'll all be thru
why care what others say about me
their opinions will end up in the cemetery
when all is said and done
the important people will be no one
if the great are cast aside by history
i'm certain no one will remember me

chorus:

i get to start living my life now
start asking myself what instead of how
make the way, break the rules
don't matter if i win or i loose
the wisdom experience will bring
is that winning & losing are the same thing
you can't get out of life alive
so why try so hard to survive
