A Hero's Death

Original

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Don't get stuck in the past

Say your favourite things at mass

Tell your mother that you love her

And go out of your way for others

Sit beneath a light that suits ya

And look forward to a brighter future

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Sink as far down as you can be pulled up

Happiness really ain't all about luck

Let your demeanour be your deep down self

And don't sacrifice your life for your health

When you speak, speak sincere

And believe me friend, everyone will hear

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Bring your own two cents

Never borrow them from someone else

Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour

Throw your hair down from your lonely tower

And if, and if

You find yourself in the family way

Give the kid more than what you got in your day

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Never let a clock tell you what you got time for

It only goes around, goes around, goes around

Take your family name for your own great sins

'Cause each day is where it all begins

And don't give up too quick

You only get one line, you better make it stick

If we give ourselves to every breath

Then we're all in the running for a hero's death

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

Life ain't always empty

That was the year of the sneer

Now the real thing's here
