Is it because there's a little part of you 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?
Well, the adults sell cigarettes
And you are young and rich, for now
You have the ritual of waking up each day and it will fill you
There's no excuse to start smoking
Where is the rebellion in acting like a fuck-up? Why not embrace simple health?
It's obvious that there is work to do, strong and deliberately
We are the ones, we have to do it
No more parents or gods taking responsibility
Living in the world on your own, there's no punishment
Only knowing what to do, no excuses
The time is now, do not wait
Go, improve yourself right now
