lyrics

You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, nuthin left but smoke to breathe into
Late night television laughter lighting up the smog long after you

You're rolled tobacco, parkade people, hearts not used to beating bitumen
Break the skin and drill for oil, wipe it up, is this called closure too
Self destruction sold to people, can't afford the drugs you think they use
I love it when you give me cancer, fill me up with tar long after you

You're rolled tobacco, tucked your leaves in
Standby watch your whole world burning
You're rolled tobacco keep on breathing
In the mess you got yourselves in
You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, standby watch the whole world burning

You're rolled tobacco, way of living, cigarette, I can't stop missing you
