Cigarette Street (Rock Version)

If this were a record we’d actually taken into the studio instead of knocking out live over the course of a fractious week in LA history, I’m pretty sure we would have ended up putting out a version of the song that was somewhere between this one and the version which appeared on the album.

Lyrics

CIGARETTE STREET (ROCK VERSION)

I’d like to welcome you to Cigarette Street to
Cigarette Street to
Cigarette Street to
Cigarette Street
Well you can see for yourself
that it’s hard to compete
with the pictures on the package
that glorify the wreckage
of this sick, sick, sick, sick, sick society

So if you’re feeelin’ just a little bit sick on
Cigarette Street on
Cigarette Street on
Cigarette Street
Well you can’t see the doctor
’til your forms are complete
’cause he can call it sickness
and then he can call it business
and then he can say
he’s free to disagree

On Cigarette Street

So if you all think you’re free
on Cigarette Street on
Cigarette Street on
Cigarette Street on
Cigarette Street
You’re only free
to buy the things
that they want you to eat
like the plastic coated poison
you swear you are enjoyin’
even though your face is turning green

On Cigarette Street
