Lyrics
You could pull the shades down
Spend your whole life watchin' TV
You could eat a lotta donuts
And gain a lotta weight, it's easy
Or you could pump some iron and do a lotta reps
You could get some definition in your pecs
But either way you go, someday You'll Be Gone
You'll Be Gone, You'll Be Gone
Have I made myself clear
The world will keep moving on
But you won't be here
You could be a banker
Worship the almighty dollar
Watch your bank account grow
While your heart gets smaller
Or you could give away every dime you've got
You could never have a single selfish thought
But either way you go, someday You'll Be Gone
You'll Be Gone, You'll Be Gone
Where you'll be is not too clear
But one thing you can count upon
You won't be here
You could be a monk
You could take a vow to never marry
You could eat a lotta rice
You could never leave the monastery
Or you could hit the bars every single night
You could put the moves on everyone in sight
But either way you go, someday You'll Be Gone
You'll Be Gone, You'll Be Gone
You will be history
Someday there will come a dawn
That you ain't gonna see
You ain't gonna see
