I went and got my drivers license
Today at the DMV
Out of all the many questions
They thought to ask of me

The one that struck me funny
Is if I wouldn't mind
If I get in a wreck and lose my head
Could I leave the other body parts behind

So I checked the box and said good luck
Getting anything to work
And if it does I'm warning ya
All it's going to do is hurt

Cause my heart's been broken many times
If you feel the need to ask
And with my brain let me explain
There's not one good cell that's left

Both my knees are in need of sympathy
And my feet have spent years beating the pavement
I'm really not sure there's much more
That you could find worth saving

With all the many years of smoking
My lungs must be feathered beyond tarred
And as old age me pees quite frequently
I'd say my kidneys are *****

If they'd like to take my eyes
I have the glasses to go with them
The right seems to have the best sight
They might have problems with the left

I have been complimented on my smile
Though I'm missing a few teeth
But they do wonders with implants these days
Although I hear that it ain't cheap

Guess when the time does arrive
I no longer will be here
Maybe so I should write a note
And let them know which parts to stay clear

Or just give it all to science
And let them marvel at the wonder
How anything could work this long
After all it's been put under

All of this is what I thought
As I checked the box...
