one day to live lyrics

What would you do with just one day to live? Said the rich to the poor Said God to his children God said he'd revel in all his creations Watch them go to war And he'd scramble to kill them His children replied We'd just follow you, Lord We'd do nothing more We would beg for your hand The poor said You rich would take all that you want Do all that you could You'd do all that we can't What would you do with just one day to live? Said the king to his people The king was surprised For they felt no different They simply replied We would do what we need to To simply survive The king arose Why? He said All you could do You could celebrate me What's to celebrate for? They said: Listen You take us to war And you've beat us And killed us already So one day is one day more It's too late None of this is mine to take To get my way Not enough is one more day What to do with just one day to live? Said the slave to the master The master said blind I would spend no time with thoughts about you Fucking poor and obtuse My day would be mine The people they gathered with one day to live They met to decide what a day can be good for A day like none other with nothing to forgive Was better to die than to carry on one day more It's too late What of this is mine to take? To get my way Not enough is one more day One more day One more day One more day
