Cancer Lyrics

Tell me your plans
And I'll laught back in your face
Preach me your religeon
If you're dumb enough to pray

I tried to make a change
To get a better way
To make a little more money
I tried to get away
To see if I could stay
And look what I became honey

What is it I'm after
Searchin for disaster
Watchin my own life flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still we're walkin cancers
Dressed up as life

Get all your news from a corporate company
Trade in your opinions for a gallon of gasoline
GO!

I tried to get away
To see if I could stay
And look what I became honey

What is it I'm after
Searchin for disaster
Watchin my own life flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still we're walkin cancers
Dressed up as life
Dressed up as life
Dressed up as life

This life is a waste of life
This life IS A FUCKIN LIE

What is it I'm after
Searchin for disaster
Watchin my own life flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still we're walkin cancers
Dressed up as life
Dressed up as life
Dressed up as life
Dressed up as....

OMFG the opening bass riff is absolutely fantastic. Emma completely owns this song with that riff! the song is about how destructive society is upon itself. Its more or less about how we bring things upon ourselves. this is summed up in the chorus- weve been given answers, still were walking cancers, dressed up as life- its saying that all of us spread hatred/destruction like a disease, even though we know its wrong. the theme of the song surrounds this and suggests- what is the point in living this way when we are ruining life for ourselves?

I totally agree I was about to post almost the exact same thing but then I read your comment and you nailed it.

This song is about someone who thinks they are making the right decisions, but really has made all the wrong ones. Putting faith and trust into an individual who has hurt them badly, but they still love them. The lyrics "What is this I'm after searching for disaster" is saying they are with someone who they know will hurt them, but they love the person to much to just let them go. Good song, deep lyrics.

I know you are supposed to say what you think the song is about, but I just wanted to point out how amazing the bassist, Emma Anzai, is. Right as the song opens she sets the beat and rhythm to the song and it is the coolest thing ever.

This bass line is freakin epic!!. I think the songs about a guy who has a very dark view of the world. Thinks religion is pointless, having future plans makes him want to laugh in your face. When he says were all walking cancers dressed up as life i think it just means were destroying everything around us whether its high gas prices, wars w/e.

How about those bass drum thumps from Mark, introing Emma. They feed each other well. The choreography is freaking amazing. Like they've played together all of their lives.

I think this is tongue-in-cheek...from teens to adults. And speaking as a child-oriented adult, I think it is brilliant and about freaking time!

This song is so badass. It's about this guy trying to rebel from the normal destructive lives lead by the majority of folks in the world. He tries to infultrate their way of life and see if he can change things but instead his plan backfires and he conforms to the same hopeless way of life everyone else is leading, becoming what he once rebelled against. By the end of the song he realizes what he's done and sees how blind we all are. We could be productive and making the world better. Instead we only make it worse.

I adore the instrumentation in this song. The percussion is fantastic and the guitars on top only enhance it. I wish this song would get more airplay. It'd be an instant hit!
