Soon self-driving cars will be the norm

And we will long for the days behind

Because we are unable to just go for a ride

Without a destination in mind

A single dose of Viagra cost fifty bucks

That price is quite a fright

Add in dinner and a prostitute

You're talking a very expensive night

And reeks of alcohol

Now odds, 700,000 to 1 is an important detail

It still makes me stop and think

That God just may be a female
