Well, now and then I like a cigarette
One day I'll quit them, but not just yet
Though every drag I take takes a day off my life
Like a long slow suicide
Life is a long slow suicide

I cheer on my team through the thick and thin
Though sometimes it seems like they're scared to win
And every time they play it takes a day off my life
Like a long slow suicide
Life is a long slow suicide

Well, I drink too much and I work too hard
And I fry my food in a pool of lard
Then every show I play it takes a day of my life
Like a long slow suicide
Life is a long slow suicide

So when you feel like you can't go on
There's always this to take comfort from:
Every day you live takes a day of your life
Like a long slow suicide
Life is a long slow suicide
It's a long slow suicide
Life is a long slow suicide
