Cancer (Explicit) - Tom MacDonald

Lyrics by：Tom MacDonald/Nova Paholek

Composed by：Tom MacDonald/Nova Paholek

Everybody knows someone who's sick

40 percent will get cancer only half's gonna live

Your mom and your dad and your sister stand inside a room

And someone won't survive it do you hope it isn't you

I swear that cancer has a cure but they're refusin' to make it

They done like 40 years of research 90 billion in donations

We've been runnin' for the cure and wearing ribbons for ages

Why are people still goin' through radiation

It's f**kin' crazy

Hundred billion dollar industry they can't afford to end it

And nobody wants to die our only option is to spend it

We'd give anything to stick around for just another second

Give a fortune to the doctors who promise they can extend it

The profits are astronomic the hospitals and the clinics

Are fillin' coffins with dollars it's awful let's just admit it

We're all human we'll keep fightin' 'cause it's how we survive

But it's scary 'cause we don't know where we'll go when we die

Don't give up I know you're strong show them all your fire

The days are hard the nights are long

But you are a fighter when it's dire you burn brighter in the dark

You're a survivor when you're tired you hold tighter you have heart

Nothin' matters if you don't have your health

All the money in the world doesn't help

The good might go to heaven and the bad might go to hell

But no one wants to leave here you can tell

And cancer touches everyone it's in our genetics

And our world's become so toxic it's all carcinogenic

We've polluted the water the air the food we're ingestin'

It's full of hormones and poison our population's infected

They sell us cigarettes and liquor built a business on addictions

We've been payin' them to kill ourselves we're dying to keep livin'

It's the system it's a prison we keep tryin' to beat it

We get cancer from keepin' all our demons a secret

And our insurance don't cover the things we need to defeat it

And even if it does we then we might die from the treatment

Our best defense is livin' like we do not know what cancer is

Fight it if you have it and pray that there's somethin' after this

Don't give up I know you're strong show them all your fire

The days are hard the nights are long

But you are a fighter when it's dire you burn brighter in the dark

You're a survivor when you're tired you hold tighter you have heart

You won't know how to be brave 'til you chose to fight when you're afraid

And you can't experience strength 'til you've struggled to carry the weight

And you won't know why you have faith

'Til you look the Devil in his face

And you don't know what you can take 'til you realize you didn't break

Don't give up I know you're strong show them all your fire

The days are hard the nights are long

But you are a fighter when it's dire you burn brighter in the dark

You're a survivor when you're tired you hold tighter you have heart
