Met an old man out on the town I was straight,

he was falling around

Asked him why he was driven to drink

He opened one eye and said,

what do you think?

He pulled a ring from a can of brew

He looked right through,

he said, anything'll do

Well, he threw back the brew,

he looked up and said

One day you're gonna wake up dead

One day you're gonna wake up dead

One day you're gonna wake up dead

You say you don't follow rules,

they're a waste of time

You'll miss a life if you

tow the line

Moderation only makes you live too long

Why not do it all from the

bottle to the bomb?

Big bomb, bomb, bomb, big, big, big bomb

You say you don't hurt

no one except yourself

As long as

God is looking after the national health

But every single time you fall into your bed

One day you're gonna wake up dead
