Don't Smoke - The Microphones

Is it because

There’s a little part of you that wants to be dead?

Or is it because

Your life feels empty without some ritual?

Or is it because

The rebellion against the adults hasn’t ended yet?

But the adults sell cigarettes

And you are young and rich for now

You have the ritual, for free

You wake up each day, don’t you?

It’s no excuse to start smoking

Where is the rebellion in acting like a fuck-up?

Why not embrace simple health?

It is obvious there is work to do

Strong and deliberately

We are the ones, we have to do it

No more parents.

No more gods.

Taking responsibility

Living in the world on our own

There’s no punishment

Only knowing what to do, no excuses

Do not wait.

Go.
