Tom MacDonald - F Cancer lyrics

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 fuckin' 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 profit's 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
