"Nobody Gets Out Alive" lyrics

"Nobody Gets Out Alive"

Well, there's good and there's evil, all kinds of people
Running 'round with their heads up in the sky
There's old and there's lazy, young and fucking crazy
With one thing in common, no matter how hard they strive

There's a high road and a low road and all points in between
Only one destination, no matter how loud you scream

You can spread your wings and fly, nobody gets out alive
No matter how hard we try, nobody gets out alive
Everyone's gonna take the dive... Nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive... Nobody, nobody gets out alive

There's the rich and the homeless, the hippies and the hopeless
They point their fingers and blame everything on you
And there's love and there's hatred, the simple and the sacred
They cheat and they lie but no matter how hard they try

There's the hard way and the long way and the easy as you please
With all kinds of detours but you end up getting squeezed

You can spread your wings and fly, nobody gets out alive
Blast off into the sky, nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive, nobody gets out alive
Give 'em all a big high five, nobody, nobody gets out alive

There's a right way and a wrong way, one big roundabout
Choose your own direction, but there's only one way out

You can spread your wings and fly, nobody gets out alive
Blast off into the sky, nobody gets out alive
Gonna be a long take five, nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive, nobody, nobody gets out alive
