Racoon Side Effects song lyrics

All the side effects were never mentioned to me

I am innocent of uncontrolled abuse

No one ever told me cigarettes could kill me

Now I'm used to them

I never saw the writings and the warnings

on the packages and posters of my role-up smokes

Tell me that's a hoax

Got the freakin' idea I could be like James Dean

15 years old with my foot against the wall

Getting smoke into my eyes not that I'd show you,

being cool and man I never saw

the writings and the warnings

on the packages and posters of my role-up smokes

Tell me that's a hoax

The pores of plague that tease the cow,

the cross-eyed steak I'm eating now

can overload and in time explode

Pretty done for, heaven knows, the city's like a snake

All wrapped up and tangled in. Reality's a fake

The flashy coloured neon signs are screaming 'Ain't it great!

Come dance with us, take your chance with us'

We're left for dead. Without beliefs we're dead

We're scared, but won't admit to it, I bet

So we cease to care instead

Now I'm stuck between the alcohol and wisdom

Now I'm stuck between a smoke and city air

Almost used to all the crappy things we feed on

Almost belly round and unaware

Chorus

All the side effects were never mentioned to me, So I am innocent
