Destined For An Early Grave
You old men with your prostate problems
think younger women will help you solve them
Risking heart attacks by taking a blue pill
knowing the side effects can make you ill
But nonetheless you choose to risk your life
instead of having an old woman for you wife
Your sex appeal diminished yet to satisfy your hunger
you try to keep up with women twenty years younger
This type of behavior will get you in an early grave
and apparently you think this makes you brave
Its better for your health to choose life over lust
and having a woman there who deserves your trust
I know its your life and you'll live it as you see fit
and this piece wont change your mind so I'll quit
