LYRICS: Might have a nice life, with coffee, and friends you can call/ Could have a Shakespeare collection, and might have read them all/ Could have a family that made you, nicer than some folks had/ Could have a family that you made, that isn’t so bad/ You can build up your armor, against what life brings/ You can dodge when life kicks, and you can duck when life swings/ You can outsmart all sadness, and outfight with the best/ But sometimes life hits you like a chisel to the chest/ Then you say/ Ow, fuck, that hurt. There’ll be something sometime / That makes you feel like you’re dyin’/ You’re gonna have yours, and I’m gonna have mine./ Could have a nice home, with flowers, and cool modern loot / Could have a sweet job, short hours, and an easy commute/ Could have a partner, feel lucky, with best love and wishes/ Cute kittens and puppies and tropical fishes/ You can quote from philosophers, or bibles or songs / That find hope in the hopeless, and find right in the wrongs / You can wear art and wisdom like a bulletproof vest But sometimes life hits you like a hammer to the chest, then you’ll say/ Ow, fuck, that hurt. Some day it’s just your time, to feel like you’re dyin’/ You’re gonna have yours, and I’m gonna have mine/ You think anyone who ever lived got thru and enjoyed it?/ But somehow you, yeah right, you’re gonna avoid it?/ You can buy full insurance against fire and theft / And you can zig to the right and you can zag to the left / No bad health, bad break ups, or bad luck or death / But life will hit you / someday, somehow / like a chainsaw to the chest / Then you say… Ow, fuck, this hurts.
