Todd Snider - The Temptation To Exist. Lyrics

Todd Snider Lyrics

"The Temptation To Exist."

The temptation to exist
Must've been the first one we couldn't resist
And now, now that list goes on
As I'm hoping it will
'Til we're gone

Hey now
You've got to live a little
Might be all we got
You've got to live a little
People die a lot
They do
Look it up
Yup

People die a lot, lot
Old winds blow
Ever wonder where they go
I got to ask who wants to know and never do
Whether you're the voice in your head or who is talking to

Hey now
The both of yous
You've got to live a little
Everything we forgot now
You've got to live a little
People die a lot

Can't be that hard
Shit
Shit
Everybody does it
Hey you got to live a little
You've got to live a little
Yeah, you've got to live a little
