Lyrics
CONFRONTATION WITH THE GRIM REAPER
(For Gary)
VERSE 1
I recently got the news that a friend had passed away. I know I'm gonna
miss him. There's not a lot more I can say. He left us way too soon. I know
he didn't have a choice. But when that Reaper comes for me I'll raise hell
and make some noise.
CHORUS
I'll say get away from my door. You've got no business being here. I'm not
buying what you're selling. Am I coming through loud and clear? There
must be some mistake. I'm absolutely sure of this. You need to check your
information. I know you've got the wrong address. You need to take
yourself somewhere else cause I'm not letting you come in. You'll have to
drag me away kicking and screaming just the way that I came in.
VERSE 2
I know we all have to go but that don't make it right. I ain't gonna go
quietly. I'll put up a damn good fight. I'm not afraid of confrontation so go
ahead and bring it on. I plan to have my say before it's all said and done.
REPEAT CHORUS- If you didn't understand what I said I'll say it for you
again. You'll have to drag me away kicking and screaming just like the way
that I came in.
