Verse:
Em
Like a Jew in ancient Spain
Am7
And for Christ's name did pay with pain
Am F
Modern day Inquisition
Em
What is the link between these crafts?
Am7
Doctors and thieves, they both wear masks
Am F
Overpaid meat magicians
Chorus:
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
Verse:
Am7 Em
Your doctorate and Ph.D
Am7 Em
Would wipe my ass etched in feces
Am F
Will not cure your affliction
Am7 Em
Doctors Jeckyll or Mengele
Am7 Em
And your face too, they're just a blur
Am F
Can't improve my condition
Chorus:
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
Verse:
Em Am7
Appointment made, waited three hours
Em Am7
Did not realize you had such power
Am F
I'd rather see a mortician
Em Am7
Your parents saved or had the bucks
Em Am7
Your education stems from luck
Am F
Future corpse, death by physician
Verse:
Em Am7
I have no choice, devoid of rights
Em Am7
So pull the plug, it's my damned life
Em Am7
Keep me alive to increase your bill
Em Am7
A Red Cross hell, the hospital
Chorus 2:
Em G6 Em G6
Just let me die with dignity
Em G6 Em G6
It's not suicide, simply mercy
Verse:
Em Am7
Just who do you think you are?
Em Am7
Medical school don't make you God
Em Am7
Now I don't care what you've been taught
Em Am7
Just get me off this life support, ah
Chorus 2:
Em G6 Em G6
Just let me die with dignity
Em G6 Em G6
It's not suicide, simply mercy
Chorus:
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
Em Am7 Em G6
Life is killing me, life is killing me
