Reaper Don't Care Lyrics

I know a thing about Death

He comes to us all at our very last breath

He says when it's time to take leave

Yes, he's the real deal—he's not make believe

He knows when your time is well up

He'll say clean off your plate and empty your cup

Because when your time has run out

There's no hemming and hawing when he is about

You can say you're not ready—you can beg him to spare

Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air

But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care

He's got a job to do and he just don't care

I know about the places you'll go

Could be heaven or hell or maybe limbo

Who knows where the Reaper may take

Your soul when you're gone—when your body won't wake

One thing I know to be true

You won't be here no more and we won't see you

But guess what? We'll all join you soon

So, you might as well sit and enjoy this tune

You can say you're not ready—you can beg him to spare

Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air

But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care

He's got a job to do and he just don't care

It don't make no matter if you're good or bad

If you're a son or a daughter or a mom or a dad

If you're happy or sad or scared or mad

The Reaper's got a job and it don't make him glad

Reaper don't care about who you are

Or whether you end up in the ground or a jar

He don't care if you're a loser or a shining star

He's got a job to do—and he's not here to spar

You can say you're not ready—you can beg him to spare

Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air

But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care

He's got a job to do and he just don't care

You can say you're not ready—you can beg him to spare

Your life for more time to breathe the fresh air

But the Reaper don't bargain, because the Reaper don't care

He's got a job to do and he just don't care
