lyrics

if you’ve got trouble making friends
just take up a smoke break
you’re already broke anyway
and we’re all going to choke someday
it’s just luck of the drag
and a flick of your wrist
and no, i don’t really want to die like this
it’s not okay, you’re not going to be okay

but we don’t have the guts to quit
when you can write it off as just another bad habit
and through it all we’ll make the call
to just die another day
as if i choose my own way
oh parliament kids, parliament kids
you make me sick, all you parliament kids
but i’ve made a mistake --
did the match give me away?

what’s one more habit to break
when all our parents are alcoholics
at least we don’t lie to ourselves
the damage is done, and we all know it
fuck your droll PSA; we’ll do it anyway
you can’t say you know best; it’s your fault that we’re in this mess
i swear i’ll stop someday -- til then
light me up again

you know, it hardly makes sense
to go to yoga and then go bum one
eat a vegan burrito, and fill my lungs with tobacco
but you won’t legalize weed, acid or dmt
and i just need a release,
something to fight mortality
hey man, do you have a light?
behind your eyes?

and who would have the guts to quit
when you can write it off as just another bad habit?
and through it all we’ll make the call
to just die another day
as if i choose my own way
