Carcinogenic

Lyrics

Working people down to the bone on their knees
 9-to-5 every day of the week is...
 Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic)
 Getting minimum wage, while your boss takes a raise
 As he lies through his brand new teeth, he is...
 Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic)
 
 Over-working, working nurses and teachers
 Whilst you preach austerity is...
 Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic)
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 ♪
 Cramming people into high-rises, while selling their welfare for low prices
 Public spending gets big slices, while ignoring the true crisis
 Where were you when the ship sank?
 Probably not queuing for food banks
 Probably waving your Union Jack
 Probably rallying for new tanks
 Probably to blow up the ice caps
 Because the lunatics have taken over the asylum
 Ah-ahhh
 ♪
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 Methamphetamine, crack and heroin and living a life on tick is...
 Carcinogenic!
 Ten pints of G, Mad Dog 20-20, two pints of Bucky and some bouzi oozi is...
 Carcinogenic!
 Class division and bear-baiting on television for better ratings is...
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 You only die once
 You'll never come back
 You're gone when you're gone
 So, love what you can
 You only die once (You only die once)
 You'll never come back (You'll never come back)
 You're gone when you're gone (You're gone when you're gone)
 So, love what you can
