Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
This patch is pumping poison in my pores
I can't take that much more
What a poor way to live
And I don't wanna lose my voice when I'm on tour
I'd like to live a little more
And have a little more to give

[Chorus]
And smoking is like hiring a hit man
For five dollars a day
And as cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way

[Verse 2]
I'm shaking like a junkie
And I'm shivering like a crackhead
I've gotta get this fucking monkey off my back
And I just need to remember
That I can't afford to be a big spender
And this is tobacco and not crack

[Chorus]
And smoking is like hiring a hit man
For five dollars a day
And as cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way

[Outro]
As cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way
