Inhale exhale , inhale exhale
What was the point to that
Sucking in , exhaling out ,
How long did the comfort last ?
Four minutes , times twenty five more
Money thrown out the window
Addicted to the source .
Nicotine : the root of evil
Wrapped in pretty paper
The wise , smart and vulnerable
No one set apart .
No one ...
But someone precious
To family and to friends
Addiction contagious as air borne disease
Passed on from generation to generation :
In cute and delicate packs .
Pandemic proportions
Right across the world
Yet no one fears the consequences
And nothing have we done to stop it .
Money talked Big T and people bled
And today ,tomorrow , next week , next year ,
Millions of tears will still be shed .
So when will it end for you and I ,
For generations yet to come ?
We've masked for years ; kept silent
Supporting this deadly drug
We've put money in the hands of evil
To profit , to gain and to kill .
Claiming we can't quit "
We're addicted "
And this is where it ends for now
One day to be completed .
