lyrics

The Sign on the wall says no smoking
The bartender directs you outside
As you inhale the smoke you start complaining
“Who are they to tell me how to die?”
You say the world, well it’s ending
You the planet has gone to shit
And there’s nothing that we can do about it
This world’s too broke for us to fix.
You say it started when the planes hit the buildings
You know the ones that dubya ignored
Or you claim worse yet even orchestrated
So that we would beat the drums of war.
You say it’s sad, that no one sees it coming
Everybody's got a false sense of hope
But the politicians they are the drug dealers
And fear is their dope
Everybody wants to pledge allegiance
Everybody wants to protect their home
But if you’re withdrawing from your freedom
Remember
patriotism, it’s just like methadone
I say look on the bright side darling
When this world is gone if we survive the hunger and disease
You and I, we will still be standing here
And we can smoke anywhere we please
Yeah we can die anywhere we please
