Lyrics

Working people down to the bone on their knees 9-to-5 every day of the week is... Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic) Getting minimum wage, while your boss takes a raise As he lies through his brand new teeth, he is... Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic) Over-working, working nurses and teachers Whilst you preach austerity is... Carcinogenic (Carcinogenic) You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can Cramming people into high-rises, while selling their welfare for low prices Public spending gets big slices, while ignoring the true crisis Where were you when the ship sank? Probably not queuing for food banks Probably waving your Union Jack Probably rallying for new tanks Probably to blow up the ice caps Because the lunatics have taken over the asylum Ah-ahhh You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can Methamphetamine, crack and heroin and living a life on tick is... Carcinogenic! Ten pints of G, Mad Dog 20-20, two pints of Bucky and some bouzi oozi is... Carcinogenic! Class division and bear-baiting on television for better ratings is... You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can You only die once You'll never come back You're gone when you're gone So, love what you can You only die once (You only die once) You'll never come back (You'll never come back) You're gone when you're gone (You're gone when you're gone) So, love what you can
