50:50 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Natural causes or incineration?
Old age or too much radiation?
A spectacular show
Too bad we had to go

[Chorus]
50:50
50:50
50:50
The toss of a coin
Which way's it gonna go?

[Verse 2]
Natural causes or incineration?
Burial or liquidation?
Rockets ready to go
A once in a lifetime show

[Chorus]
50:50
50:50
50:50
The toss of a coin
Which way's it gonna go?
[Verse 3]
Natural causes or incineration?
Slow death or instant termination?
A spectacular show
Too bad we had to go

[Chorus]
50:50
50:50
50:50
The toss of a coin
Which way's it gonna go?

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
