If children were wishes, My mother spent hers on impossible things My brother was money, My sister was love, and I was world peace My brother, he spent it, My sister got pregnant, and all that I'm worth Will only come true When there are no more of us left on this earth If hearts were machines that kept Running forever automatically, Then you wouldn't be in that Hospital bed, on that saline I-V And if it's your diet, you stubbornly swear That it wasn't your fault, You rather be dead in that hospital bed Than cut back on sugar and salt Oh, aren't you afraid of Living in a major American city, So marry a stupid, Unreachable girl who's impossibly pretty And I've seen you drive everyday of your life, And it's always a rush, And I have to wonder How I ever let you do something so dangerous And so I suppose this is Just how it goes no matter how I try, I just have to watch you get Weaker and weaker till you finally die But I have to remember The wish of my mother and all that I'm worth, Which will only come true When there are no more of us left on this earth
