I know a thing about Death He comes to us all at our very last breath He says when it's time to take leave Yes, he's the real deal-he's not make believe He knows when your time is well up He'll say clean off your plate and empty your cup Because when your time has run out There's no hemming and hawing when he is about You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care He's got a job to do and he just don't care I know about the places you'll go Could be heaven or hell or maybe limbo Who knows where the Reaper may take Your soul when you're gone-when your body won't wake One thing I know to be true You won't be here no more and we won't see you But guess what? We'll all join you soon So, you might as well sit and enjoy this tune You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care He's got a job to do and he just don't care It don't make no matter if you're good or bad If you're a son or a daughter or a mom or a dad If you're happy or sad or scared or mad The Reaper's got a job and it don't make him glad Reaper don't care about who you are Or whether you end up in the ground or a jar He don't care if you're a loser or a shining star He's got a job to do-and he's not here to spar You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care He's got a job to do and he just don't care You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care He's got a job to do and he just don't care
