Lifer by Bleed Singers

Spinnin’ records and blowin’ smoke
And my hair is a total joke
Made some music and some good friends along the way
So save your pity for my wife
I’ve been a lifer all my life
Save your charity for my daughter’s graduation day

I was the life of the party
I was the king of the scene
I never left much on the table if you know what I mean
And when the reaper comes a knockin’
I’ll get up and open the door
I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more

Here’s some medicine to take
You were old at 28
And you’re only as young as you can try to be
So say a prayer for what you’re after
And you’ll always have the laughter
And if you miss your shot come hang with the guys and me

I was the life of the party
I was the king of the scene
I never left much on the table if you know what I mean
And when the reaper comes a knockin’
I’ll get up and open the door
I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more

Don’t want to be a pop co-writer
Don’t need mention in the liner
Notes that stretch out the bottom of the screen
My music never made much money
And thing that’s kinda funny
Is I think I really like it better that way

I was the life of the party
I was the king of the scene
I never left much on the table if you know what I mean
And when the reaper comes a knockin’
I’ll get up and open the door
I never ran from him and really couldn’t live much more

Can’t buy the things I have
Those who gave em long have passed
Those I’ll give em to have barely just been born
You can call it helter skelter
Or you can bury your head in shelter
Cause the young ones will just burn it down anyway

Hail, hail rock n’ roll
Let Shaun William Ryder save my mortal soul
Let Jennifer Herrema decide the streaming rates
And let the biggest goon from Berghain man the gates
Just let an MF DOOM imposter man the gates
