[Verse 1]
Listen, children, I've got a secret
One that they don't want me to tell
I hope you register this little message
It's the only way you can stay out of hell
Don't ask your parents, they ain't gonna tell you
'Cause they've already taken the fall
I thank your lucky stars for the enlightenment
'Cause now it ain't no secret at all

[Chorus]
We're gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're all gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to mankind
Die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to mankind

[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to soil your future
It used to be so squeaky clean
It ain't my fetish to extend this pessimism or blow rain clouds over your scene
I got the notion, I got the feelin'
That this thing may not have to end
This better raise up your suspicion
'Cause now there's only one result, my friend
[Chorus]
We're gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're all gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to mankind
Die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to mankind

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hey, Mom and Dad, please don't hate me!
It's 'cause of me, you see your lost youth
Do I evolve into an adult organism?
Do I blow myself away? Tell me the truth!
Good intentions, yeah, I got 'em
Plan for the future? I'll pray for the end
And this had better raised up your suspicions
'Cause now there's only one result my friend

[Chorus]
We're gonna die off in time
We're only gonna die off in time
You know we're gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to mankind
Die off in time
You know we're gonna die off in time
You know we're gonna die before our time
Until we stop succumbing to man
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Die off, die off, die off
We're all gonna die before our time
Die off, die off, die off
We're all gonna die before our time
