Well, every living organism at one time was dust
An assemblage of atoms from our atmosphere and crust
These bits they come together, but only for a time
From that very first self-replicator oozing from the slime
We exist and then we don't, that's just how we do and
Everyone you know someday will also be dead too
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
Everyone so far has died too
There's not a thing that you can do
And you and me and us we're all gonna dieeeeeeee!
Well, many folks will hope that there's a way out of this song
That if we think real hard and act real tough somehow we'll get along
We'll fix those telomeres, digitize our brains
Freeze our dying bodies 'till the remedy's attained
Well, I have some bad news for you, you can't outrun the hearse,
The explosion of the sun or heat death of the universe
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
The singularity won't save you
There's not a thing that you can do
And you and me and us we're all gonna dieeeeeeee!
The marvelous truth of it all is that death is such a gift
Because the only reason we can die is that we even live
The improbability of life and you and me and us
That we exist at all to sniff and kiss and taste and hear and touch
We've used our minds to make so many awesome things somehow
Including all of the words in the song you're listening to right now
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
It's the one thing you can't live through
There's not a thing that you can do
And you and me and us we're all gonna di-i-i-i-i-ie
