Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young

Should you take those words literally? My old man died young, but mama was more moral than he was. She outlived him by 35 years. Sure, women on the average live longer than men, but by that much? I won't take it literally.

But it works with the way people like to think. It's more fun to be immoral. So you would "rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints". Until the sinners run into trouble which causes pain, suffering, and death. But don't think about that cause it isn't fun.  Much more fun to live it up now.  You'll pay for it later.   The Grim Reaper always gets paid.

That's why I think people will do the right thing eventually when they see that the wrong thing isn't always what it is cracked up to be.  ( As with this song.)  The song sells and puts money in Billy Joel's pockets, but the money comes out of your pockets.  How smart is that?
