Cancer
Years ago he was cheerful
A healthy husband, very skillful
A father of five, a grandfather of four
Then I came and made him sore
When he found out about me his head was spinning
It made me feel good to know I was winning
Slowly, slowly, one by one
I took over and the pain begun
Infecting and injuring I make my way
Through the arteries that's where I stay
I grow, I grow, I grow and I kill, I kill, I kill
I'm a bunch of lean mean murder machines
It's not his fault, I was in his genes
The weakened blood goes fizz fizz
In a hospital bed that's where he is
Thump thump goes the exhausted heart
The doctors try to make me depart
His wife cries and his children plead
But I only make him scream and bleed
The doctors dive into me
And take a part with surgery
A million trials but I'm still here
Now there is no more cheer
