Lyrics: Gino Vannelli. Alive By Science.

Respirators, ventilators
High and holy legislators
Give me agony, pure agony
Aah, vegetation, indignation
Endless one-way conversation
Ain't living to me, yeah

And when I lose all my self-reliance
Don't keep me hooked up to no appliance

Ooh, don't keep me if you love me
Don't keep me alive by science
Alive by science

And I hear an angel banging on my door
Big daddy, on the top floor
Shoutin' free, you gotta be free
This is my life cest mon affiare
Fat lady's singin', I don't stand a prayer
Now, be a love and pull the plug on me

Now babe, if you be true to our alliance
Please don't pump my lungs without my compliance

Yeah, don't keep me
Oh, don't keep me
Alive by science
Alive by science

Ooh, and when I lose all my self-reliance
And don't keep me hooked up to no appliance

Aah yeah, don't keep me
Yeah, don't keep me
Alive by science
Alive by science

Yeah, I beg you baby, don't keep me
(Alive by science)
Baby, don't keep me
(Alive by science)
Oh, don't baby, don't keep me
(Alive by science)

Yeah, oh, baby, don't keep me
(Alive by science)
Oh, don't keep me
(Alive by science)
Oh, yeah

Family members mortgage lenders give me agony
(Alive by science)
I'm stuck in bed seeing red blood flows but my brain is dead
(Alive by science)
To be or not to be
(Alive by science)

Baby, don't keep me
(Alive by science)
Don't dare and keep me
(Alive by science)
