Cigarettes Lyrics

packet of cigarettes on the counter
carrying a government health warning
still they want the money, still they want the tax
still they want the money, still they want the tax

why not take paper currency and light it up?
a lower tar content and a quicker puff
then you could keep the money, you could keep the tax
you could keep the money, you could keep the tax

fields wasted growing tobacco
could be used to feed the third world countries
this is the age of hypocrisy
everybody's saying "vote for me! vote for me!"
blind leaders leading the blind
the cheaters and the cheated you will always find

still they want the money, still they want the tax
still they want the money, still they want the tax
the tax, the tax, the tax
still they want the money, still they want the tax
still they want the money, still they want the tax

but the biggest serial killer is a heart attack
the biggest serial killer is a heart attack
still they want the money, still they want the tax
but the biggest serial killer, the biggest serial killer
the biggest serial killer
the biggest serial killer
the biggest serial killer is a heart attack

This song is obviously about cigarettes and how ridiculous they really are. I think my favorite line is, "The biggest serial killer... is a heart attack." It's just genious.
