Send "Priests And Paramedics" Ringtone to Cell

Paramedics brave and strong
Up before the break of dawn
Putting poker faces on
Broken bodies all day long
The neighbors heard a fight
Someone had a knife
It must have been the wife
Husband's lost a lot of blood
He wakes up screaming, "Oh my God
Am I gonna die?
Am I gonna die?"
As they strapped his arms down to his side
At times like these they've been told to lie
Buddy, just calm down, you'll be alright

Several friends came to his grave
His children weren't so well behaved
As the priest got up to speak
The assembly craved relief
But he himself had given up
So instead he offered them this bitter cup:
"You're gonna die
We're all gonna die
Could be twenty years, could be tonight
And lately I have been
Wondering why
We go to so much trouble
To postpone the unavoidable
And prolong the pain of being alive"
