[Verse 1]
There's patches pumping poison in my pores
And I can't take that much more
What a poor way to live
And I don't wanna lose my voice when I'm on tour
I'd like to live a little more
And have a little more to give

[Chorus]
And smoking is like hiring a hitman (Ooh-ooh)
For five dollars a day (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And as cool as that is, I'm too broke (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
To keep dying this way

[Verse 2]
And now I'm sweating like [?]
And I'm shaking like a junkie
I need to get this fucking monkey off my back
I just need to remember
That I am not a big spender
And that this is tobacco and not crack

[Chorus]
And smoking is like hiring a hitman (Ooh-ooh)
For five dollars a day (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And as cool as that is, I'm too broke (Ooh-ooh)
To keep dying this way (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
As cool as that is, I'm too broke to keep dying this way (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
