Cancer

If you smoke a cigarette it gives you cancer
Drinking beer is bad, it gives you cancer
Milk is dangerous too, it gives you cancer
Walk around in the sun and you'll get cancer
You'd better stay home in bed
if you're afraid to get cancer

Don't watch television or you'll get cancer
If you live near a factory you're sure to get cancer
Spray insecticides and you'll get cancer
Burn a plastic bag if you want to have cancer
You'd better stay home in bed
if you're afraid to get cancer 

Everybody dies of cancer
Some people just don't get old enough for it
Because they die of a heart attack,
an accident or murder
Or even suicide

So if you want to die a normal death
Die from cancer

 

In the 70's and 80's an increasing amount of  products used in everyday life was found to be carcinogenic. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before all joys of life would be forced out by nagging health freaks.

This song was a protest against these naggers.

Unfortunately, smoking in a bar is now illegal in Holland. In fact, smoking tobacco is prohibited even in the famous "coffeeshops" now...
