You were runnin fast… did you know it couldn’t last
What would you say… would it have changed your day
Its fucked up, but you didn’t know… it was your time to go
Yeah its fucked up but you didn’t know…
Played your last game… last flash of fame
Dancin to the beat… man that thing looked sweet
Its fucked up, but you didn’t know… it was your time to go
Yeah its fucked up, but you didn’t know…
Get your last kiss… your last wish
As that ‘stang starts to roll… its your final curtain call
Its fucked up, but you didn’t know… it was your time to go
Yeah its fucked up, but you didn’t know…
They say you were drinkin… what were you thinkin
So are ya feelin bad… lyin on that slab
Its fucked up, but you didn’t know… it was your time to go
Yeah its fucked up, but you didn’t know…
Hey you didn’t know… it was your time to go
Yeah it was your time to go
