Or had any
When the die is cast
And you're fading fast
As you breathe your last
Are you ready?

Well you can't take it with you but

That don't stop you trying

You got it all figured out coz you're a

God-fearing family man
When the lies are drawn
And your time has come
And your mind has gone
Will you miss it?
When you add the score
And you want some more
Well the final straw
Is there isn't
Are you waiting for somebody to kiss it better?
You'll have to wait until the day there's a twelfth of never
Forever
When you look in the mirror your face is quite contented
You're looking cute in the suit that you bought on the trip to Milan
And you don't really care if you could be called self centered, oh no
You've got your eyes on the prize and you're a God-fearing family man
God-fearing family man

Are you thinking that you're gonna be here forever?
Delay your fate until the day there's a twelfth of never?
Whatever
Well the world's in a mess but your own's completely ordered
You put it down to the fact you're in charge of a heavenly plan
You keep an eye on the numbers and find it's all too sordid
Pat yourself on the back coz you're a God-fearing family man
A God-fearing family man
You're a God-fearing family man
