lyrics

KILL FOR A CIGARETTE


If they make nicotine illegal
It would follow like the alphabet
That crime would grip this city
And I would kill for a cigarette.
Yes, I would kill, kill, kill, kill for a cigarette.

Tet-tet-tet.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

BATF knows what they’d get:
I would kill for a cigarette.
I would batter and brutalize
Just to feel that smoke get in my eyes.
Yes, I would kill, kill, kill, kill for a cigarette.

Tet-tet-tet.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

Killing for a cigarette.
And I’m not even half-lit yet.
Killing for a cigarette
To protect my mob interests.

I would kill, kill, kill, kill for a cigarette.

Tet-tet-tet.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

They honored Robert Johnson a stamp
But airbrushed out his cigarette.
He sold his soul at the Crossroads for a cigarette.
They wouldn’t take, take, take, take my cigarette.

If I get caught with a smoking gun
You know I wouldn’t be the only one.
When I crack a pack, I’m a dancer.
My astrological sign is Cancer.
I would die, die, die, die, die for a cigarette.

Rub me out!
