when the time comes for me to die
I’m just going to say, no thank you
and go on living
I don’t want to die
so I don’t think I should
sure this goes against all reason and science
but I don’t really feel like dying
I enjoy baseball
and I’d hate to miss a Phillies game
I also like pizza
I’m deathly afraid of dying
so I figure why bother
the way I look at it is
why do something I don’t want to do?
it seems like a big hassle
what with your life ending and all
so I just don’t think I’m gonna do it
