Side Effects - Racoon

All the side effects were never mentioned to me

I am innocent of uncontrolled abuse

No one ever told me cigarettes could kill me

Now I’m used to them

I never saw the writings and the warnings

On the packages and posters of my role-up smokes

Tell me that’s a hoax

Got the freakin' idea I could be like James Dean

15 years old with my foot against the wall

Getting smoke into my eyes not that I’d show you

Being cool and man I never saw

The writings and the warnings

On the packages and posters of my roll-up smokes

Tell me that’s a hoax

The pores of plague that tease the cow

The cross-eyed steak I’m eating now

Can overload and in time explode

Pretty done for, heaven knows, the city’s like a snake

All wrapped up and tangled in. Reality’s a fake

The flashy coloured neon signs are screaming 'Ain't it great!

Come dance with us, take your chance with us'

We’re left for dead.

Without beliefs we’re dead

We’re scared, but won’t admit to all of this, I bet

So we cease to care instead

Now I’m stuck between the alcohol and wisdom

Now I’m stuck between a smoke and city air

Almost used to all these crappy things we feed on

Almost belly round and unaware

All the side effects were never mentioned to me, So I am innocent
