|
All the side effects were never mentioned to me |
|
I am innocent of uncontrolled abuse |
|
No one ever told me cigarettes could kill me |
|
Now I'm used to them |
|
I never saw the writings and the warnings |
|
On the packages and posters of my role-up smokes |
|
Tell me that's a hoax |
|
Got the freakin' idea I could be like James Dean |
|
15 years old with my foot against the wall |
|
Getting smoke into my eyes not that I'd show you, |
|
Being cool and man I never saw |
|
The writings and the warnings |
|
On the packages and posters of my role-up smokes |
|
Tell me that's a hoax |
|
The pores of plague that tease the cow, |
|
The cross-eyed steak I'm eating now |
|
Can overload and in time explode |
|
Pretty done for, heaven knows, the city's like a snake |
|
All wrapped up and tangled in. Reality's a fake |
|
The flashy coloured neon signs are screaming 'Ain't it great! |
|
Come dance with us, take your chance with us' |
|
We're left for dead. Without beliefs we're dead |
|
We're scared, but won't admit to it, I bet |
|
So we cease to care instead |
|
Now I'm stuck between the alcohol and wisdom |
|
Now I'm stuck between a smoke and city air |
|
Almost used to all the crappy things we feed on |
|
Almost belly round and unaware |
|
Chorus |
