D.R.I. - Nursing Home Blues lyrics

I am an old man living alone

My loved ones stuck me here in this nursing home

I've lost all usefulness

I want to die

I have them all the best years of my life

Then Maggie passed away, now I've got no wife

So kill me, young man, or hand me your knife

I want to die

My beautiful daughter says I get in the way

I depress her because I'm old and grey

She can't stand to see the wrinkles in my skin

By golly, girl, you're my only kin

I want to die

Like an old horse put out to pasture

Too old to be of any more use to it's master

But when I lie in bed and I reminisce

I begin to think maybe this is best

I'm out of the way, not in anyone's hair

And though I'm costing them money, I don't care

I want to die
