Reaper Don't Care

I know a thing about Death
He comes to us all at our very last breath
He says when it's time to take leave
Yes, he's the real deal-he's not make believe

He knows when your time is well up
He'll say clean off your plate and empty your cup
Because when your time has run out
There's no hemming and hawing when he is about

You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare
Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air
But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care
He's got a job to do and he just don't care

I know about the places you'll go
Could be heaven or hell or maybe limbo
Who knows where the Reaper may take
Your soul when you're gone-when your body won't wake

One thing I know to be true
You won't be here no more and we won't see you
But guess what? We'll all join you soon
So, you might as well sit and enjoy this tune

You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare
Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air
But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care
He's got a job to do and he just don't care

It don't make no matter if you're good or bad
If you're a son or a daughter or a mom or a dad
If you're happy or sad or scared or mad
The Reaper's got a job and it don't make him glad

Reaper don't care about who you are
Or whether you end up in the ground or a jar
He don't care if you're a loser or a shining star
He's got a job to do-and he's not here to spar

You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare
Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air
But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care
He's got a job to do and he just don't care

You can say you're not ready-you can beg him to spare
Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air
But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care
He's got a job to do and he just don't care
