Can't Even Afford To Die
Never really planned it that way
Even after you're dead and gone
The bills keep going on and on and on
Everybody wants a piece of me
But I just want to rest in peace
Well the cost of livin' is so damn high
Cost an arm and a leg to kiss this world goodbye
If that's what it takes
To leave this life
It's a pretty high price
When you Can't Even Afford To Die
Sold my house and changed the locks
Just to buy that old pine box
Planted me up on that hill
And I'm payin' that bill to this day still
Everybody wants a piece of me
But I just want to rest in peace
Well the cost of livin' is so damn high
Cost an arm and a leg to kiss this world goodbye
Nothin's worth nothin'
And nothing comes free
Everybody wants a piece of me
Well, if that's what it takes
To leave this life
It's a pretty high price
When you Can't Even Afford To Die
Diamond rings and mortgage titles
We try to hold on to golden idols
They say you can't take it with you
So they take it when you're gone
Gone, gone
I went and died the other day
And when they came to take me away
The guy with the hearse grinned and smiled
Said, "that'll be five bucks a mile!"
Well the cost of livin' is so damn high
Cost an arm and a leg to kiss this world goodbye
Nothin's worth nothin'
And nothin' comes free
Everybody wants a piece of me
Well, the cost of livin' is so damn high
Work yourself to death
Just to stay alive
And just when you think
That you're gettin' ahead
The shit hits the fan
And you're further in debt
Well, if that's what it takes
To leave this life
That's a pretty high price
So take my advice
You'd better think twice
Before you go out and die
Can't Even Afford To Die
Can't Even Afford To Die
Can't Even Afford To Die
