[Verse 1]
Extinction will catch up to you
And there is nothing you can do
What fate surely waits
Maybe eaten by wolves
In your sleep

[Verse 2]
Your time is quickly running out
It’s pointless to worry and pout
What fate surely waits
Maybe dying of thirst lost at sea

[Chorus]
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and non-violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night

[Verse 3]
You’ll soon be dead as a doornail
What stories will your loved ones tell
What fate surely waits
Maybe drowned like a rat in a latrine
[Verse 4]
You’ll soon be pushing up daisies
Laid in a pine box six foot deep
What fate surely waits
Maybe roasted and served as a cuisine

[Chorus]
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and non-violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night

[Verse 5]
When you meet your maker
Will you still be in one piece?
When you take your last bow
Will you fall down on your knees?

[Verse 6]
When you cash in your chips
Will you have your pistol drawn?
When the pale horse appears
Will you still have your boots on?
[Chorus]
Don’t worry your head off
There’s always a fate worse than death
Pray you go quietly
Quick and non-violently
No need to worry
We all meet our end someday
Pray you go silently
Into the bleak dead of night
