I Was Born A Cancer

Listen Listen to this song I was tall, I was strong When I had to go Went to the Tropics Beneath the Capricorn My captain said "You have a cancer of the lungs" I said amen, I smoke of tobacco I said amen, I smoke of tobacco I said amen, I smoke of tobacco It's a divine holocaust I said amen, I smoke of tobacco I said amen, I smoke of tobacco I said amen, oh my God You ask me "Why do you smoke?" But you talk and talk and talk and talk And you never have a look at the clouds You see, in Heaven, angels smoke too They do get bored baby like me, like you And if it's not stress, I guess It must be happiness That make them send those lovely S.O.S I was born to die of cancer I was born to die of cancer I was born to die of cancer No matter if I smoke I was stressed, I was oppressed I felt pain, I felt dread I was born to die of cancer No matter if I smoke Marlboro, Marlboro Lights, Dunhill Gold Lucky Strike, Camel Blend, Craven A Gauloises Blondes, Benson Hedges Oh you tell me "It's suicide" It's true we don't have so much time To start a cure of disintoxication But it's hard to be modern To be careful with your health I'm not a sportsman after all Cult of the body destroys the soul Yeah the soul We have to roll on, we have to roll on Oh baby ash to ash, and that leaves dust to dust I was still smoking on the verge of dying Oh baby ash to ash, and now it's dust to dust Oh baby ash to ash, and now it's gone
