It's been a long hard road, the one I'm livin'

and I've been taking all it's got and I keep on grinning
And now I realize, as I'm halfway through,
There's only one thing I need for you to do.

Oh won't you shoot me, before I get old
So won't you shoot me, now you've been told
So won't you shoot me.......... before I get old

-----------Lead Break-------------------------------

Don't want to live out my life in a wheel chair
Don't want to sit around the home and play solitaire
Don't want to be sedated and left to die
I just wanna live ˜till I'm twenty-five.

There's gotta be a better way than an institution
Indignity and shame are no solution
You can take my car, or my home my friend
But, I'm wanna keep my pride ˜till the bitter end

So won't you shoot me, before I get old
So won't you shoot me, now you've been told
So won't you shoot me.......... before I get old
