Cough up blood, cough up dust Remember who you can trust Cough up lungs, cough up smoke Caged life is just a joke In a church hall, in a shopping mall Are the secrets and the pitfalls Untold stories (void promises) No one will ever know Cough up blood, cough up dust Remember who you can trust Cough up lungs, cough up smoke Caged life is just a joke The ants march in and out of line
Forgetting who they meet, thinking of what they find Forever running out of time Marching in and out of line But I won't let it this time Cough up blood, cough up dust Remember who you can trust Cough up lungs, cough up smoke Caged life is just a joke It's a f**ing joke Cough up blood, cough it up I'm coughing up blood
