Wow, you guys go all out for Earth Day. I just burn a tire.

Dang, what can you drink these days?

Joe Jackson Cancer Lyrics
{Refrain}
Everything
Everything gives you cancer
Everything
Everything gives you cancer
There’s no cure, there’s no answer
Everything gives you cancer
Don’t touch that dial
Don’t try to smile
Just take this pill
It’s in your file
Don’t work hard
Don’t play hard
Don’t plan for the graveyard
Remember
{Refrain}
Don’t work by night
Don’t sleep by day
You’ll feel all right
But you will pay
No caffeine
No protein
No booze or
Nicotine
Remember
{Refrain}
No caffeine
No protein
No booze or
Nicotine
Remember
{Refrain twice
