my bro cancer-vive cancer

i gotta spend the day at the record store

cuz it's the only place i can go to ignore what i got

and listen to some punk rock

 

i don't have the cash for chemotherapy

but i got enough for the HOFX colored EP

oh yeah!

 

i know one day i'll meet Fatty and we're gonna be bros

if i show up to enough Fat Wreck Chord shows

and i'll tell him that i'm dying

and i'm desperately tryin'

 

to see a dominatrix with reasonable rates

should i fly to Santuary or just drive through the gates

of East Oakland

i said: that's kind of a random thing to say

 

he said: i'm Brett, i don't have very long

there's something very wrong

so i thought that you could maybe

write a song about me

i said: seriously?

 

i'm uninsured and it's unstoppable

the doctor told me it's inoperable

cuz my GoFundMe page only raised 50 bucks

oh no!

i think i gotta go

 

he told me the cancer was in his brain

so i invited him over to do some cocaine

with me

cuz he never tried drugs before

 

i offered him a line and he said he's not sure

i said: didn't you just tell me that there isn't a cure?

so why not try

 

some ectasy and coke

if you're gonna croak

some DMT and K

will make you feel okay

just for one night

you might feel like everything is gonna be all right

 

then he texted me every day

until i finally said: okay

i'll write a song about you being sick

but like your life, it's gonna end too quick
