Don't die from old age, It's illegal. You'll be arrested, Jailed for a life sentence With no parole. You must die from cancer, Pnemonia Or some other acceptable And legal disease, But not old age With blunt sight, Withering bascilli in windpipes, Conflicted consciousness With Unsteady steps. These must be symptoms Of a greater malaise. So, Take heart, You cannot die from old age.

Don't Die From Old Age
Don't die from old age, It's illegal. You'll be arrested, Jailed for a life sentence With no parole. You must die from cancer, Pnemonia Or some other acceptable And legal disease, But not old age With blunt sight, Withering bascilli in windpipes, Conflicted consciousness With Unsteady steps. These must be symptoms Of a greater malaise. So, Take heart, You cannot die from old age.
It's illegal in N. America to die from old age.
