The Reaper's Logic

Verse 1

Denial, anger, bargainin' and depression

Last one is acceptance

Verse 2

But I'll be honest, it seems to take a lot longer

When it seems like everyday

Verse 3

Michael was my childhood friend

He worked and never knew anything

But the love of his woman and poverty

But he got her and he'll never forget me

Chorus

How come the good die young?

It's hard to be strong

When the reapers come

It makes a person wonder what's the point?

Oh, what's the point?

Verse 4

Kevin had a problem with the bottle

But he finally put it back on the shelf

Guess the Reaper claimed him 'cause he was dry

Guess it's easier to take 'em when they're high

Chorus

How come the good die young?

It's hard to be strong

When the reaper comes

It makes a person wonder what's the point?

Verse 5

Timmy finally got his special gal

And I think he finally found himself

Then he got his diagnosis

He was gone before he could even notice

Chorus

How come the good die young?

It's hard to be strong

When the reaper comes

It makes a person wonder

Verse 6

'Cause I never believed in the afterlife

It made me feel like my decisions don't matter

But then my dad passed away

And he's the only reason I'm here today

Chorus

So how come the good die young?

It's hard to be strong

When the reaper comes

It makes a person wonder what's the point?

Outro

Denial, anger, bargainin' and depression

Last one is acceptance

But I'll be honest, it seems to take a lot longer

When it seems like everyday

Everyday
