Spare Parts

I found a penny that is older than I am
probably worth more than me, too
Taken as a whole I'm just another poor man
costing society more than I produce
But then again
maybe if I sold one of my lungs
Perhaps a kidney, maybe a spleen
Even a testicle or an eye I could spare
I might be worth something to someone, somewhere

Spare parts for sale
someone must need
Spare parts for sale
some part of me
Spare parts for sale
So I can finally say
I am somebody!

I could end up inside of some diplomat
negotiating peace on earth
Another part could be in an artistocrat
can you imagine what I'd be worth?
Now all I need is
some kind of marketing strategy
Put up a Web Site or take out an add
I could sell futures on the Stock Exchange
I finally figured out the American Way!
