I had mysterious medical symptoms So I made a doctor's appointment in search of an answer And that led to other appointments being x-rayed, poked and prodded, MRI'd I received a diagnosis that was hard to hear, a later stage cancer I asked the doctor for instructions, "Im new to this doc, its the first time that I've died" He's said, "there's really nothing to it, its been done many times its almost boring You just go on with your life and do the things that you enjoy until you drop" "But I don't want to die yet doc", I found myself pathetically imploring "Is there something we could do to buy some time or even or make the cancer stop"? Edmund Hillary climbed Everest before anybody did Thomas Edison, Jim Morrison and Billy the Kid They're all dead, they're all dead, they're all dead Suleiman the magnificent, who ruled the Ottoman Empire Mohammad, Jesus, Buddha and the great Richard Pryor They're all dead, they're all dead, they're all dead "Chemotherapy is often used to kill the cancer cells", the doctor told me "But as I'm sure you've heard it also kills the normal cells a person needs to thrive Radiation kills the cancer cells with beams" but then he stated rather coldly "For a late stage cancer such as yours, in five years, two or three percent survive" "And of course, somebody has to pay for science, these therapies are both expensive You've got insurance but it won't cover all the costs, your wife and kids will likely pay" I said, "I appreciate your candor, doc but you've left me feeling very apprehensive" He said, "I'm sorry, I'm just your doctor and I wish it didn't have to be this way" Every soldier who enlisted in the first world war Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Zsa Zsa Gabor They're all dead they're all dead they're all dead Neil Armstrong did the moon walk before Micheal Jackson All of the heroes of the Bible and Atilla the Hun They're all dead, they're all dead, they're all dead I said, "doc before I leave here is there anything that you could say to give me Just a little bit of hope before I have to give this news to my kids and my wife? Hell, my mother's almost ninety, I can't believe that she is going to outlive me What did they train you to say to a patient who has come to the end of his life'? He said, "I've got an ten year old patient with a tumor in his brain the size of a baseball He's in unbearable pain and between you and me, I don't think he'll survive" I knew what he was trying to tell me and in shame I could feel my ungrateful face fall Toward my sneakers and in that moment I felt happy that I was ever alive All the starving kids in Africa and those with a similar fate Sammy davis junior, Alexander the great They're all dead they're all dead they're all dead Leonardo Da Vinci who painted the Mona Lisa Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth and Mother Teresa They're all dead they're all dead they're all dead Sally Ride who was a member of the doomed space shuttle crew Your mom, your dad, your doggie and eventually you We're all dead, we're all dead, we're all dead!
