lyrics

My grandfather said,
Don’t you work your life away expecting something in the end.

My grandmother said,
Don’t get sick, it’s not worth suffering to extend,

What you don’t have.
Because I won’t,
Let myself,
See reward.

I’ve been dying now for quite some time,
I just have to relax, I know I’m fine but still I,

Whine and complain,
Nag and bitch and moan and I’m just trying to be sane.

I just want more time,
To see my worth,
Is that too much,
To ask of this earth?

I’ve been dying now for quite some time,
I just have to relax, I know I’m fine but still I,
Try to benefit at the end of my life,
(My grandfather said, don’t work your life away,)
This don’t feel right, I don’t feel right.
(My grandmother said, don’t get sick.)

I’ve been dying now for quite some time,
I just have to relax, I know I’m fine but still I,
Try to benefit at the end of my life,
(My grandfather said, don’t work your life away,)
This don’t feel right, I don’t feel right.
(My grandmother said, don’t get sick.)

My grandfather said, don’t work your life away,
My grandmother said, don’t get sick.

My grandfather said, don’t work your life away,
My grandmother said…
(Don’t get sick!)
