The Rolling Stones - "Ventilator Blues"

Everybody's gonna need a ventilator
When you're trapped and circled with no second chances
Code of living is your gun in hand
Can't be browed by beating, can't be cowed by words

Everybody trying to step on their Creator
Don't matter where you are, everybody, everybody gonna

Come down and get it
