Why does death steal life?

E.T.'s not dead, he's just a little bit faded
Please don't give me any credit, that's how people get jaded
Please don't nod your hеad, and please don't tell mе I made it
'Cause people start to get worse once they think they the greatest (The greatest; Be patient)
The best is yet to come (The best is yet to come), yeah (Yeah)
