The Secret Lyrics

Listen children
I've got a secret
One that they don't want me to tell

I hope you register this little message
It's the only way you can stay outta hell

Don't ask your parents
They ain't gonna tell you
Cause they've already taken the fall

Thank your lucky stars for this enlightenment
Cause now it ain't no secret at all

[Chorus]
We're gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die before our time until we stop succumbing to mankind
Die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die before our time until we stop succumbing to man... kind

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna soil your future
It used to be so squeaky clean
It ain't my fetish to extend this pessimism or blow rain clouds over your scene

I got the notion, I got the feelin
That this thing may not have to end
Listen better raise up your suspicions
If not there's only one result, my friend

[Chorus]

Hey mom and dad, please don't hate me
Just cause in me you see your lost you
Do I evolve into an adult organism?
Do I blow myself away?
Tell me the truth

Good intentions, yeah I got 'em
Plan for the future or pray for the end
This had better raise up your suspicions
Cause now there's only one result, my friend

We're gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
You know we're gonna die before our time until we stop succumbing to mankind
Die off in time
You know we're gonna die off in time
You know we're gonna die before our time until we stop succumbing to man
Die off [x3]
We're all gonna die before our...
Die off [x3]
We're all gonna die before our time

Its a little more than teaching kids about death. Its about how kids don't know the secret of life: it really isn't a fairy tale, and it sucks and we're going to die anyway. Not so bright and happy is life, is it?

well... we sure are gonna die. I like this song, cause I'm a pessimist.
