[ Featuring the Fighters ]
Barbarian spear hurled through the air
The child's crusade
Hole in the space/time continuum
Misplaced air raid
That's how we died
Didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition
Or the Black Plague
Tambora eighteen ten and five
Binge on a tainted keg
That's how we died
Our lives could have been so happy
Our lives could have been so gay
If only we could have lived
For another day
If only we could have lived
Long enough to run away
But for all your joy there's pain
That's the price you've gotta pay
Angry cow tearing through the zoo
Whales and fishing boats
Pestilence, famine, plague and fear
Hope never floats
That's how we died
Our lives could have been so happy
Our lives could have been so gay
If only we could have lived
For another day
If only we could have lived
Long enough to run away
But for all your joy there's pain
That's the price you've gotta pay
