Black Lung

from SORRY by The Slums

/

lyrics

Shame to not take advantage of
A cloud this thick, a blinded love
I'll eat the blame, but I won't swallow
Completely

What a beautiful night
What a terrible sunrise
You need me gone
And I won't argue at all
You need me gone

Your cigarette stained teeth
Lick my conscience clean
Something beautiful is happening to me

Blame it on me

All this talk slinging shit has gotten me hungry
Mouth full of that black stuff doesn't matter if you're ugly

Stay patient son
Your mother tongue
Keeps soft eyes shut
I'll take what comes
With a handful of stones
And see-through walls

I've seen enough
I've become what
I covered in mud
You're a sickness I caught
You are smokers cough
You're my sweet black lung
