To each his own seems to be our motto<br /> and since this is the case<br /> I wish the aliens would come attack us today.<br /> Because only then would we unite as one world,<br /> instead of being separated by our own<br /> governments, prejudices, religions, and races.




I made a promise that I would quit



My days are getting worse



I made a promise to commit



Though I feel I was coerced



 



Nothing that the sweet stench of cigarettes



That can't make my day better



Though they'll leave me with nothing but regrets



So I pull tighter on my sweater. 



 



I know you're just trying to help me out



Trying to keep me living longer,



I know what this is all about



And I know that this will make me stronger



 



Nothing that the sweet stench of cigarettes



That can't make my day better



Though they'll leave me with nothing but regrets



So I pull tighter on my sweater. 



 



I guess i have to reinvent me,



Because smoking was my only vice



I have to change, this I do see



Though sometimes wish I were suffice



 



Nothing that the sweet stench of cigarettes



That can't make my day better



Though they'll leave me with nothing but regrets



So I pull tighter on my sweater. 



 



I wanna be me, but I wanna be free



There's no taking this back 



And I assume you would agree.



Though it feels like I'm under attack. 



 



Nothing that the sweet stench of cigarettes



That can't make my day better



Though they'll leave me with nothing but regrets



So I pull tighter on my sweater. 



 



So with my sweater pulled close



And the strum of guitars between my fingertips



I swear, there'll never be another



Cigarette between my lips.

My friends and family care enough about me to make me quit smoking. Let's see how that goes. 

I would appreciate comments.
