Living Is Hazardous To Health

My life had come to a dead end
A cigarette remained my only friend
Holding me as my feet gave away
The brilliant light kept the darkness at bay

I took a puff and then some more
Once you’ve had some, you got to have more
Let the good air out and the bad air in
Watch the philosopher in you speak up from within

I looked at the box, it said be warned
Smoking is hazardous to your health
It seems fun now to take a little trip
You know, that’s death that you have in your grip

I looked at the bitch and its pup
How could anyone be so wrong
That little thing is dangerous, it’s a killer?
Its like calling a baby, Jack The Ripper

You call it death, I call it life
Depends on which way you see the light
You don’t believe me, just give me a chance
It’s a fairytale and not some fucked up romance

The way you live and the way you fag
Are like two streetlights on a common path
They both burn, so warm and bright
To illuminate someone else’s night

You can live too fast or live too slow
Surrendering yourself to the flow
Looking to sink or fighting to float
In the end, you are a burned out whore

Smoke to fast and life’s a rush
You burn bright and fast and fade faster still
Like those young starlets in Beverly Hills
You get stubbed out, when life’s had its fill

Smoke like a square and think you’re a king
Jackass, you wasted your life, and a good cig
So you lived long, away from sin and crime
Is that life or a waste of time?
Do it just right and you’ll gain insight
You become Buddha and gain his wealth
Like him you’ll hear the warning bell
Living is hazardous to your health

So choose the life you want to lead
Or the brand you want to keep
Just know one thing, you can’t escape
The ash tray that’ll be your grave
