My father died with two bad knees
A worn out back and heart disease
His only comfort was his cigarettes
But he gave them up for his health
for his health, what else?
Someone found him in his bed at home
Just went to sleep and never woke up
He was lucky, that way
I swear there's hope for all of us
Go down fast, don't make a fuss
Check out in the middle of the night
I don't want to die in a nursing home
Out of my head and all alone
When the time comes I hope I have the courage
to end my own life
A gun or a rope or a length of hose
A friend with a pillow or an overdose
Please don't put machines on me
Because I don't believe in a heavenly reward
No man in the sky that I call lord
Just the sun and the moon and the stars
and you and me
My darling girl and my faithful wife
The friends I've known throughout my life
My family, eternally
I swear there's hope for all of us
Go down fast, don't make a fuss
Check out in the middle of the night
I swear there's hope
Excellent work!!!!
