Priests and Paramedics

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 sides
 Times like these they've been taught to lie
 "Buddy just calm down. You'll be alright"
 Several friends came to his grave
 His children were 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
 Lately I have been wondering why
 We go to so much trouble
 To postpone the unavoidable
 And prolong the pain of being alive"
