Cover art for Life'll Kill Ya lyrics by Warren Zevon

a great observation (like all his songs), this time on death. verse 2 and 3 are obviously talking about death. but 1st verse; maybe he's counting all the complications we create in our lifetime and then well, life'll kill ya and whether it was all worth it or not. or (and this is less likely) death is talking to you on first verse and referring to the living as the empire of ants and spiders.
