All the side effects were never mentioned to me I am innocent of uncontrolled abuse No one ever told me cigarettes could kill me Now I'm used to them I never saw the writings and the warnings on the packages and posters of my role-up smokes Tell me that's a hoax Got the freakin' idea I could be like James Dean 15 years old with my foot against the wall Getting smoke into my eyes not that I'd show you, being cool and man I never saw the writings and the warnings on the packages and posters of my role-up smokes Tell me that's a hoax The pores of plague that tease the cow, the cross-eyed steak I'm eating now can overload and in time explode Pretty done for, heaven knows, the city's like a snake All wrapped up and tangled in. Reality's a fake The flashy coloured neon signs are screaming 'Ain't it great! Come dance with us, take your chance with us' We're left for dead. Without beliefs we're dead We're scared, but won't admit to it, I bet So we cease to care instead Now I'm stuck between the alcohol and wisdom Now I'm stuck between a smoke and city air Almost used to all the crappy things we feed on Almost belly round and unaware Chorus All the side effects were never mentioned to me, So I am innocent
