[00:22.05]All the side effects were never mentioned to me
[00:27.09]I am innocent of uncontrolled abuse
[00:31.95]No one ever told me cigarettes could kill me
[00:37.05]Now I'm used to them
[00:38.76]I never saw the writings and the warnings
[00:42.27]On the packages and posters of my role-up smokes
[00:52.32]Tell me that's a hoax
[01:02.01]Got the freakin' idea I could be like James Dean
[01:07.71]15 years old with my foot against the wall
[01:11.94]Getting smoke into my eyes not that I'd show you,
[01:17.31]Being cool and man I never saw
[01:19.86]The writings and the warnings
[01:22.20]On the packages and posters of my role-up smokes
[01:27.24]Tell me that's a hoax
[01:30.21]The pores of plague that tease the cow,
[01:32.52]The cross-eyed steak I'm eating now
[01:34.83]Can overload and in time explode
[01:40.53]Pretty done for, heaven knows, the city's like a snake
[01:45.36]All wrapped up and tangled in. Reality's a fake
[01:50.01]The flashy coloured neon signs are screaming 'Ain't it great!
[01:54.42]Come dance with us, take your chance with us'
[01:57.51]We're left for dead. Without beliefs we're dead
[02:08.73]We're scared, but won't admit to it, I bet
[02:18.84]So we cease to care instead
[02:21.33]Now I'm stuck between the alcohol and wisdom
[02:36.96]Now I'm stuck between a smoke and city air
[02:42.21]Almost used to all the crappy things we feed on
[02:47.13]Almost belly round and unaware
[02:49.68]Chorus
