about

A song based on the futility of chasing pleasure and wealth in this life.

lyrics

I once knew a man,
A very pretty young man,
He was very close to his friends,
They were always together in the end,
Now he’s dead

I once knew a girl,
A very extraverted young girl
She liked to hang out at the mall
The little boys, she had to have them all,
Now she's Dead

I once knew a guitarist,
A very talented lead guitarist,
He was always searching for the light,
Doctors helped him get through the night,
Now he’s dead

I once knew a rich man
A very clean-cut filthy rich man.
Saved every penny every dime.
He tried to buy a little extra time…
Now he's Dead

I once knew a funnyman
A very popular young funnyman.
He made fun of everything.
The good, the bad, and even of my King,
Now he's Dead

Now I see you and me
We are not what we should be
We worry tomorrow, 'bout yesterday.
Never took the time to say,
Now we're dead
