The Quick and the Dead
Life, Memory & Mortality 3:29
Lyrics
The quick and the dead
Are the choice you must make
To learn and acquire
Or to suffer and hate
Reality can suck
And Karma's a bitch
To stay or move on
You've got to choose which
You learn or you don't
You will or you won't
You sink or you float
You've got to choose which
or you drown and gods' gloat
Either learn and be quick
Or be dead and that's fate
That's the choice you must make
You learn or you don't
You will or you won't
You sink or you float
You've got to choose which
Or you drown and gods gloat
Reality can suck
And Karma's a bitch
To stay or move on
You've got to choose which
To learn and acquire
Or to suffer and hate
You learn or you don't
You will or you won't
You sink or you float
You've got to choose which
Or you drown and gods gloat
Either learn and be quick
Or be dead and that's fate
That's the choice you must make
The quick and the dead
