The Lyrics

Cigarettes
smoking them will cause shortness of breath
And will lead one to an early death
but I still need my cigarettes

Un-PC
if you smoke now, you are just a freak
and a dumb and inconsiderate creep
Oh, smoking now's so un-PC

The price to smoke is not low
but, oh, I still just pay
Branded an outcast, wrong
for still smoking cigarettes

Cigarettes
I started smoking when I was a kid
Blame peer pressure or my two parents?
No, I blame me, and no one else

Older now, and trying to quit is so hard
I'm an addict
Will it take my name in stone
for me to really quit....

Cigarettes?
I've tried again and I'm doing my best
Laying, shaking, crying on my bed
Oh, misery, those cigarettes

Thanks Stephen. That's good you never started smoking, it's awful. I wish I'd never had.
