[crazy guitar solo] [Verse 1] Got a stack of bills on the kitchen chair Coffee gone cold, dust on the silverware Granddad’s watch stopped years ago But the rent comes due right on time, you know [Chorus] DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE You can run, you can pray, you can roll your dice But the letters still land and the clock still bites DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE [Verse 2] Wedding suit hangs in a thrift shop rack Baby on the way, bad news on the fax Laugh in the lobby, tears in the car Sign your name in ink, count the new odd scars [Chorus] DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE You can plan, you can save, you can stay up nights But the bills still stack and the lights still shine white DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE [guitar solo] [guitar solo] [Bridge] Still we toast on Fridays Still we plant in spring Knowing every bright beginning Has a closing ring (oh) [Chorus] DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE So we dance, we get lost, we hold on tight If the end’s baked in, then we live more bright DEATH AND TAXES THE ONLY GUARANTEE IN LIFE... YEEAH!
