When You Die You're Dead Lyrics - Giving Something Back - Jimmies Chicken Shack

Following the crowd provides security 

Cities alienate people 

Many of the things you want are worthless 

If you try congratulate yourself 

Surviving can take a lot of energy 

Everything's an integral of everything else 

Almost no one finds their match 

Strangers don't want to know you, nature always wins 

Why would you waste it? 

Why do we waste it? 

Why would you waste it? 

Why do we waste it? 

We all want the same things 

You have chosen everything that happens to you 

We are part of the land, people want to look nice 

And loneliness is not contagious 

Violence is passed through generations 

Crowds create their own power 

Everyone you meet is a mirror of yourself 

Things left undone become harder, progress takes time 

Why would you waste it? 

Why do we waste it? 

Why would you waste it? 

Why do we waste it? 

Experience gives you options 

The range of personalty is endless 

Most weirdos want to be 

People are attached to what they can't have 

Defense mechanisms are inherited 

Power is passed to those near it 

One size fits all doesn't 

Western man is too separated from nature 

And people interests should come 

Before business interests, you can only screw yourself 

Self esteem is basic to success 

And it will be a long time before safe is sex 

Pain inside shows, only certain types are religious 

And many artists aren't 

You can have anything you want 

The court of law is designed to intimidate 

Stay in touch with your inner self 

Living increases knowledge 

'Cause living increases knowledge 

'Cause living increases knowledge 

Yeah, living increases knowledge 

Yeah, they say living increases knowledge 

Yeah, they say living increases knowledge 

Yeah, they say living increases knowledge 

And when you die, you're dead
