Western Suicide

It’s no secret I would rather be dead Than alive If I were in a western movie The poster would read: “Wanted Alive, Death Would make him too Happy.” Can you imagine how that might Play out in Hollywood and Spaghetti westerns? No more wild gunfights No more knives in the back They would have to be tricky Conniving and even smart To bring their man back alive. At every turn he would beg them to hang him Give me a dose of horse pills. Could you tighten these handcuffs up till I bleed? No one wants a suicidal prisoner Let’s face it they are just no fun. And of course you would need a counselor along To make sure that if he needed to talk there was somebody there. I mean who wants to talk to some grunting cowboy Who’s cleaning the cow manure out of his teeth? Yes the West would have been won in a gentler more feeling Manner. Without great escapes and liars. Just simple folk telling the truth about how they feel. I know it makes me feel better; although I still want to die...
