Disconnected
-You're disconnected, that's the drill
What if I can't pay for the power?
-You're disconnected, they don't accept flowers
But what about firewood?
-You're disconnected, this isn't your old neighborhood
Maybe my children will have time to chat?
-You're disconnected, they don't have time for that
I've got a computer, so what do I do?
-You're disconnected, you need to read the manual through
How do I send them an email?
-You're disconnected, the power failed
How about I write them a letter ahead?
-You're disconnected, better change your diapers instead
Well sir, then what am I connected to?
-The IV tube is connected to you
Will it be long till they visit me?
-No, because you'll be disconnected by three
Is that when I take my last breath?
-Yes, you'll be connected with death
