How did Camus really die that night?
Were they right?
When he died, was it really his time
Or was it suicide?
And Holden Caufield is a friend of mine
We go drinking from time to time
And I find it gets harder every time

Back off
But you're out on the street again
Don't you stop
Did you know you couldn't swim?
Back off
Until you're out on the street again
I'm not gonna play if there ain't no way I'll win

And Hemingway never seemed to mind
The banality of a normal life
And I find it gets harder every time
So he aimed a shotgun into the blue
Placed his face in between the two and sighed
Here's to life!

Back off
But you're out on the street again
Don't you stop
Did you know you couldn't swim?
Back off
Until you're out on the street again
I'm not gonna play if there ain't no way I'll win

Hey there, Salinger, what did you do
Just when the world was looking at you
To write anything that meant anything?
You told us you were through
And it's been ten years since you passed away
But I see no plaque and I see no grave
And I can't help believing you wanted it that way

Vincent van Gogh, why do you weep?
You were on your way to heaven
But the road was steep
And who was there to break your fall?
We're guilt, one and all

And I don't know much, but I do know this
With a golden heart comes a rebel fist
But I can't help agreeing
With those that would not quit

Well it makes me sick when I think of it
All my heroes could not live with this
And I hope you rest in peace
Because in life you never did
And K.D.C., you were much too young
And you changed my life
But I draw the line at suicide
Here's to life!
