Lyrics

Cigarette

Got myself a job
Gonna move up that corporate ladder
Follow in the footsteps of all my friends

Well, have another cigarette

So why you tripping on me?
I can't take all the pressure
Gotta find some way to cope with this

Have another cigarette
Have another cigarette
And live 'til you die

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

I'm not afraid, I'm unafraid
I'm unafraid, I'm not afraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

Blind to the wind, the news and the culture
Deaf to the sound that leaks from your voice
Take a deep breath and pray for a second one

Have another cigarette

So what do you think of me now?
Well, I'm not here to impress you
I'm not the one who's insecure

Have another cigarette
Have another cigarette
And live 'til you die

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm unafraid, I'm not afraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

Springtime, Jesus, flower, firefly
Sister, Sunday, winter, mother
([Incomprehensible])

Yeah, have another cigarette
Have another cigarette
Have another cigarette
Have another
And live 'til you die

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm unafraid, I'm not afraid
Start learning to fall

I could never be like this
I could never be like this
Start learning to fall down

Will you ever believe me?
Will you never be with me?
Start learning to crawl

Springtime, Jesus, flower, mother
