The boys in the band and the girls in the street They're made of cancer The words that I sing and the chords that I play are made of cancer Doctors say stay awake stay alive stay inside that's the answer Your days will be numbered, your days will be fact Scarlet tattoos on the arm No time to think and you cannot relax No one is innocent now Don't touch your children and don't touch your wife You don't know where they have been The neighbors are watching, the neighbors are talking And you don't know what they have seen The paint on the walls and the film that I saw are made of cancer The birds in the trees and the birds and the bees And they're made of cancer The chords that I play and the words that I say are made of cancer Doctors say stay awake stay alive stay inside that's the answer Your days will be numbered and you will be numbered A scarlet tattoo on the arm You cannot think and you cannot relax No one is innocent now Don't touch your children and don't touch your wife You don't know where they have been The neighbors are watching, the neighbors are talking And you don't know what they have seen Your days will be numbered and you will be numbered A scarlet tattoo on the arm You cannot think and you cannot relax Something is going around Don't touch your children and don't trust your wife You don't know where they have been The neighbors are watching the neighbors are talking And you don't know what they have seen
