Kept Alive by Science

[Verse 1]
Fortunately he was kept alive by science and the drugs of men
When autumn comes, my days will count sadly short again
I saw the tubes dangle by the bedpost, leaking
And a chaplain at the footboard, speaking
"We dedicate this, your servant
We dedicate this, your servant
We dedicate this, your servant, back to the Earth"

[Chorus]
Well, so, get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today
But you could never have stayed, hey
And this world is a typical disaster of what comes after
Unfortunately
Unfortunately
Well, you better get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today

[Verse 2]
Fortunately luck is in the hands of the young
And the wind from the iron lung
The iron lung, unplugged, can only take it as it comes
I see the holes have made the raincoat leaky
And I heard them make the box springs squeaky
"We dedicate this, your servant
We dedicate this, your servant
We dedicate this, your servant, back to the Earth"

[Chorus]
Well, so, get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today
But you could never have stayed, hey
And this world is a typical disaster of what comes after
Unfortunately
Unfortunately
Well, you better get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today

[Bridge]
He said, "The top drawer contains the proof of my remains
And estate's in letters and receipts
So if you'd ignore my pleas when I turn off the machine
If you'd ignore my pleas when I turn off the machine
If you'd ignore my pleas when I turn off the machine"
How unfortunately
Unfortunately, taking what comes
Unfortunately
Unfortunately
"Well, if you'd ignore my pleas when I turn off the machine"
