Karen Mantler - 1.05 - People die

This is the fifth track of the album "My Cat Arnold", which was released in 1989.

All lyrics are sung by Karen Mantler.

It's amazing how the serious subject of death is treated so lightly. The song doesn't go as far as treating death as a joke, but it makes death sound like something trivial that just happens.

People die

People die,

No use in trying to avoid it,

So enjoy the time that you have,

It won't last.

People die,

Sometimes just when you least expect it,

And there's nothing that you can do

But go on.

It's a fact,

Once you're born there's no turning back.

People die,

And you will too if you're not careful,

Life is short, or maybe it's just

Way too long.

It's a fact,

Once you're born there's no turning back.

It's a fact,

Once you're born there's no turning back.

It's a fact,

Once you're born there's no turning back.

It's a fact,

Once you're born there's no turning back.

It's a fact.
