about

original songwriter: Laura Nyro

lyrics

And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and this world to carry on

Well I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care
If it's peace you find in dying well then let the time be near
If it's peace you find in dying when the dying time is here
Then bundle up my coffin 'cuz it's cold way down there
Yeah, crazy cold way down there

And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and this world to carry on
Hey!

Well my troubles they are many
They're as deep as well
I swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin' only my dying will tell
Yeah only my dying will tell

And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born and this world to carry on

Give me my freedom for as long as I be
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
All I want from dying is to go naturally
Yeah, only want to go naturally

Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demons
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go naturally

And when I die
When I'm dead, dead, dead and gone
There'll be one child born and this old world to carry on
To carry on

Kidnapped, blindfolded and bound with cheap silver duct tape by a gang of meth-cookin' hillbillies, Arliss Lost was transported to an unknown, foul-smelling location and tossed into a dark, dank basement. Given only a waste bucket & meager daily portions of roadkill jerky, he was forced to "make some got-dam music for everbuddy and don' be tryna get y'self up heer til its dun!"
And so, heertiz.
