Lyrics

[Verse 1] If children were wishes My mother spent hers on impossible things My brother was money My sister was love And I was world peace [Verse 2] 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 [Hook] Ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 3] If hearts were machines that kept Running forever automatically Then you wouldn't be in that Hospital bed, on that saline I-V [Verse 4] 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 [Hook] [Verse 5] Oh, weren't you afraid of Living in a major American city So you marry a stupid Unreachable girl who's impossibly pretty [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] 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 [Hook]
