Jesse Welles - Cancer
Cancer's getting meaner, and it ain't never been fun
Supposed to get you when you're old, and now it get you when you're young
Cancer's always been depressin', cancer's never been pleasant
It don't care if you're royal, don't care if you're a peasant
★ Pre-Chorus ★
Then what causes it?
★ Chorus ★
Everything you ate, the sleep you didn't get
Your job and the air and the water and your bed
The sun and red meat, all the fishes in the sea
Thеy're all a bunch of cantankerous cancer-causin' carcinogеnic S.O.B.'s
It's like them apocalyptic folks off the newer Mad Max
Monsanto clause delivered all the cancer in your ass
★ Verse 2 ★
But its from the purple ketchup, the BPA's and microplastics
Just hope it don't go metastatic
It's meaner than the meanest, meaner than the rumors
It's your own personalized "Bam! Pizza Hut", home-grown little tumor
Take it
★ Verse 3 ★
It'll make an atheist plead with God
A hardcore bumper sticker Christian give up
Monsanto clause is checkin' his list and the cancer don't give a fuck
★ Outro ★
Cancer of the head, shoulders, knees, and toes
I wish had the patent on the cancer-screenin'
I'd be a printin' cancer dough
Cancer is as lucrative a business as a war
So if you ain't expecting peace, then why expect a cure?
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe chorus paints a grim picture of the myriad of potential cancer-causing agents in our everyday lives, likening them to apocalyptic figures from a dystopian movie. The verses further emphasize the insidious nature of cancer, describing it as a personalized threat that can strike anyone at any time. The song also touches on the emotional toll of cancer, showing how it can shake one's beliefs and faith to the core.
In the outro, the lyrics reflect on the commercialization of cancer treatment and the profit-driven motives behind the search for a cure. The comparison to war highlights the harsh reality that for many, cancer is a lucrative business that may not prioritize finding a cure over making money.
Overall, "Cancer" is a raw and honest portrayal of the harsh realities of cancer, urging listeners to confront the disease head-on and question the systems in place for treating and preventing it. Jesse Welles delivers a poignant message through his lyrics, challenging listeners to consider the true impact of cancer on individuals and society as a whole.
