we are frail so frail and weak our bodies fail we re all just meat so easily scarred so easily beat it doesn t take much for us to spring a leak it doesn t take much to perish in your sleep we are soft soft and smooth just beef and sauce perfect for stew so easily squashed so easily bruised it doesn t take much to strip us to the bone it doesn t take much work to make us croak we re all marching in the same parade biding our time in this fleeting masquerade we re all headed steadfast to the grave why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts will you burn out or will you fade away will you die young or wither in old age we re all dying to make it out unscathed why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts  we are doomed from the start shrivel like prunes damaged and scarred so easily strewn so easily marred it doesn t take much to tear us apart it doesn t take much force to stop our hearts we are flawed prone to leak crumbling facades fraught with disease so easily clawed so easily freed it doesn t take much stress to make us crack it doesn t take much strength to break our backs we re all marching in the same parade biding our time in this fleeting masquerade we re all headed steadfast to the grave why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts will you burn out or will you fade away will you die young or wither in old age we re all dying to make it out unscathed why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts a knife in the back from a friend or a bump on the head a ruptured appendix or maybe a virus instead a clot in your veins or a poisonous snake in the grass a chest full of buckshot or maybe a slip in the bath we re all marching in the same parade biding our time in this fleeting masquerade we re all headed steadfast to the grave why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts will you burn out or will you fade away will you die young or wither in old age we re all dying to make it out unscathed why all the fuss we ll all be dust and soon you ll spill your guts
