Smoking Vanity

 It's a cool thing to do
They said back in school
Wanna fit in? Bring on the nicotine!

You'll look so trendy
People will praise and follow
Popularity for the Win... Bring on the Nicotine!

No one ever mentions
How your teeth and skin yellow with time
But smoking ain't a sin...Bring on the Nicotine!

How your breath gets nasty and shallow
How your blood clots gather
But who gives a damn... Bring on the Nicotine!

Lungs aching for pristine clarity
You're out of money and in pain
Yeah Yeah I'll quit someday... Bring on the Nicotine!

You look older than expected
Wrinkled and sunken
I'll smoke once a week... Bring on the Nicotine

Hooked up with needles
Attached to life support
You're too late....Fuck you Nicotine!
