Cancer For The Cure Lyrics

the kids are diggin up a brand new hole
where they put their deadbeat mom
grandpa's happy watching video porn
with the closed caption on
father knows best
about suicide and smack
a well hehehe

cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure
buckle up and endure now baby
cancer for the cure

old blue eyes is back again
but he was never here in the first place
a heart attack is something to fear
but take a look out back
cause courtney meets love
and so do i
well hehehe

cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure my baby
buckle up and endure now sweet thing
cancer for the cure

cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure my baby
buckle up and endure now sweet thing
cancer for the,
cancer for the,
cancer for the,
cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure
cancer for the cure

Firstly... no-one is a moron if we get it wrong. Secondly, could you give a link to the source MetaLuna.

I'm pretty sure it was somewhat based on his mother's death (even if only because her condition turned him to think about cancer as a whole.), but it isn't DIRECTLY related (like Dead of Winter.)

Actually, the song is about something entirely different. It really has nothing to do with his mother's death.

And you're all morons.

A painful and loud song about Cancer. E's mother died of cancer herself.

So much of this album rings of his dealings with her death

"It’s like we are looking for a cure against cancer, but in some way it’s the opposite entrance to it. Like healing a wound instead of changing things, so the wound wouldn't even arise. What happens when the cure for cancer gets cancer? If we find a cure for cancer we will just continue doing things that fucks the world up and make cancer inside. There is a reason for cancer, it will be replaced by something else" - Mr E

Hmmm.... deep.

Dispite any inner meaning, I really just like the song purely based on the line "Grampa's happy watchin' video porn with the closed caption on". E has one of my favorite senses of humor.
