Correction Lyrics Still Gonna Die by Shel Silverstein

Lyrics

So you're taking better care of your body
Becoming more aware of your body
Responding to your body's needs
Everything you hear and read about diets, nutrition
And sleeping position and detoxifying your system
And buying machines that they advertise to help you exercise
Herbs to revitalize you if you're traumatized
Soaps that will sanitize, sprays to deodorize
And liquids to neutralize acids and pesticides
Free weights to maximize your strength and muscle size
Shots that will immunize, and pills to re-energize you
But remember that for all your pain and gain
Eventually, the story ends the same

So you can quit smokin', but you're still gonna die
Cut out cokin', but you're still gonna die
Eliminate everything fatty and fried
And you'll get real healthy, but you're still gonna die

Stop drinkin' booze and you're still gonna die
You can stay away from floozies, but you're still gonna die
You can cut out coffee and never get high
But you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You can even give aerobics one more try
But when the music stops playin', you're still gonna die

Put seatbelts in your car, and you're still gonna die
Cut nicotine tar, but you're still gonna die
You can exercise that cellulite off of your thighs
And get slimmer and trimmer, but you're still gonna die

Stop gettin' a tan, and you're still gonna die
You can eat a lot of oat bran, but you're still gonna die
You can search for UFOs up in the sky
They might fly you to Mars where you're still gonna die

You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
And all the Nikes and Reeboks and Adidas you buy
You can jog on up to heaven, but you're still gonna die

Drink ginseng tonics, you're still gonna die
Try high colonics, but you're still gonna die
You can have yourself frozen and suspended in time
But when they do thaw you out, you're still gonna die
You can have safe sex, and you're still gonna die
You can switch to Crest, but you're still gonna die
You can get rid of stress, and get a lot of rest
Get a Covid test, and buy a fake chest
And move out west where it's sunny and dry
And you'll live to be a hundred, but you're still gonna die

You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
So you better have some fun before you say bye-bye
'Cause you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna, still gonna
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die

Bye
