If Children Were Wishes
if children were wishes, my mother spent hers on impossible thingsmy brother was money, my sister was love, and i was world peacemy brother, he spent it, my sister got pregnant, and all that i'm worthwill only come true when there are no more of us left on this earthif 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 swearthat it wasn't your fault,you rather be dead in that hospital bed than cut back on sugar and saltoh, aren't you afraid of living in a major american city,so marry a stupid, unreachable girl who's impossibly prettyand i've seen you drive everyday of your life, Letras de cancionesand it's always a rush,and i have to wonder how i ever let you do something so dangerousand 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 diebut 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
