Cancer

«Yes…»
«Yes!»
«I just bought your dolphin ring.»
«Can you believe it?»
«Slowly clench your fists now… Clench them tighter and tighter and let that
tension move up into your forearms… Bend your elbows…»
I smelled the cancer through the friendly act you tried
My stomach twisted up so much there are a hundred knots inside
You ate my food for thought and passed it out the other side
Just one more faceless client to take you for a ride
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
And left this all behind
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
And left this all behind
I’m not like you and I don’t pretend to care
I can’t surround myself with plastic trees and vinyl chairs
A parasitic food chain where everything is fair
Just one more naive customer, let the buyer beware
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
And left this all behind
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
And left this all behind
Well, don’t have to watch my back when you’re in front of me Well, don’t have to watch my back when you’re in front of me Well, don’t have to watch my back when you’re in front of me
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
I should have learned
I should have known
I should have walked this road alone
