Lyrics Jack The Ripper - I Was Born a Cancer

Jack the Ripper - I Was Born a Cancer

Listen, listen to this song
I was told that 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 to the smoke of tobacco (3 times)
It's a divine holocaust
I said amen to the smoke of tobacco (3 times)
oh my love
You ask me "why do you smoke?"
But you talk, you talk, you talk, you talk
You never had a look at the clouds
You see in heaven, angels smoke too
They do get bored baby, like me like you
If it's not stress I guess, it must be happiness
That made them send those lovely s.o.s.
I was smoke to die of cancer
I was smoke to die of cancer
I was smoke to die of cancer
No matter if I smoke
I was stressed I was pressed
I feel pained I feel drained
I was born to die of cancer
No matter if I smoke
Marlboro, Marlboro lights, Dunhill gold, Lucky strike
Camel blend, Crave A, Gouluoise blondes, Benson Hedges
You tell me, you'd suicide, it's true we don't have so much time
To start a cure of disintixication
But it's so 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 now dust to dust
I was still smoking, on the verge of dying
Oh baby ash to ash and now dust to dust
Oh baby ash to ash and now that's gone!
