Right to Die

Take me down the silver river

And sell my bones for oil

Sell my dignity for half a bar of gold

Sell my freedom for another bit of capital idea

And when you're done I will not worry I've been sold

Take me far away from here

And sell my soul for light

Sell my everything for just one special night

Sell all of my possessions

So you cannot see their worth

And when you're done I will not say I wasn't told

Tell my loving family

This wasn't just their fault

And tell the world that made me whole was not a joke

And that the little education I have had was pure elation

And that the only ones who die are those who smoke

Oh, take me down the silver river

And sell my hair for food

Sell my independence first so there's no fight

Take my little things away

So there's no memories

And hey!

When you're done you can just sail into the night

Tell my loving family

This wasn't just their fault

And tell the world that made me whole was not a joke

And that the little education I have had was pure elation

And that the only ones who die are those who smoke

Oh, take me down a peg or two

Cause I'm nothing else to you

You take me down a peg or two

And I won't fight

And since I cannot be set free

There's nothing left for me

For now it seems that they control my right to die

Oh you control my right to die!

Oh you control my right to die!

Oh you control, yeah, my right to die

Oh you control my right to die

Oh you control my right to die

Oh you control my right to die
