Well, now and then I like a cigarette,
One day I’ll quit them, but not just yet,
Though every drag I take takes a day off my life,
Like a long slow suicide.
Life is a long slow suicide.

I cheer on my team through the thick and thin
Though sometimes it seems like they’re scared to win.
And every time they play it takes a day off my life,
Like a long slow suicide.
Life is a long slow suicide.

Well, I drink too much and I work too hard,
And I fry my food in a pool of lard,
Then every show I play it takes a day of my life,
Like a long slow suicide. Long, slow
Life is a long slow suicide. Long, slow

So when you feel like you can’t go on,
There’s always this to take comfort from:
Every day you live takes a day of your life,
Like a long slow suicide. Long, slow
Life is a long slow suicide.
It’s a long slow suicide.
Life is a long slow suicide.
