LYRICS :
So you're takin' better care of your body
Becomin' more aware of your body
Responding to your body's needs.
Everything you hear and read about diets
Nutrition and sleeping position and detoxifying your system
And buying machines that they advertise to help you exercise
Herbs to revitalize you if you're traumatized
Soaps that will sanitize
Sprays to deodorize
Liquid to neutralize acids and pesticides
Free weights to maximize your strength and muscle size
Shots that will immunize
Pills to re-energize you
But remember that for all your pain and gain
Eventually, the story ends the same...
So you quit smokin', but you're still gonna die
Cut out cokin', but you're still gonna die
Eliminate everything fatty or fried
And you'll get real healthy, but you're still gonna die
Stop drinkin' booze and you're still gonna die
Stay away from cooze and, son, you're still gonna die
You can cut out coffee and never get high
But you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
You can even give aerobics one more try
But when the music stops playin', you're still gonna die
Put seat belts in your car - you're still gonna die
Cut nicotine tar - you're still gonna die
You can exercise that cellulite off your thigh
Get slimmer and trimmer, but you're still gonna die
Stop gettin' a tan - you're still gonna die
You can eat a lot of oat bran, but you're still gonna die
You can search for UFO's up in the sky
They might fly you to Mars where you're still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
And all the Reeboks and Nikes and Adidas you buy
You can jog up to heaven and you're still gonna die
Drink ginseng tonics - you're still gonna die
Try high colonics - you're still gonna die
You can have yourself frozen and suspended in time
But when they do thaw you out, you're still gonna die
You can have safe sex - you're still gonna die.
You can switch to Crest, but you're still gonna die.
You can get rid of stress, get a lot of rest,
Get an AIDS test, enroll in EST,
Move out west where it's sunny and dry
And you'll live to be a hundred, but you're still gonna die
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
So you better have some fun before you say bye-bye,
'Cause you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna, still gonna
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die
