Yes, but he also sings, take everyone, the newborn, the stillborn, just spare me which always bugs me. I know what he's trying to convey and I am glad for him that he had this one (brief) period in life where he was truly happy to be alive on this earth, but there's something sacred about the newborns, especially in the catholic religion.
I much prefer the line Turn sickness into a popular song / unpopular song, that's a good one.
