Scary Movie

4​
Sometimes we pay money to scare ourselves silly
By watching horror movies which turn us pale as a lily
We scream and we scream at the monsters of the night
We shake and we shiver in absolute fright
 
But when we pay money to buy a packet of smokes
We're not thinking of fear, that would be a joke
We're thinking that now we will appear so cool
We're thinking how daring to break all the rules
 
Fear is the furthest thought from our mind
And that is why we are completely and utterly blind
Because if we persist in inhaling fumes from these logs
A lifetime of fear will keep us in a shadowy fog
 
Cigarettes are not about being so cool
Cigarettes are not about breaking the rules
Cigarettes are about fear that rules every moment of your life
Observe closely, think carefully and you may avoid a whole lot of strife
