lyrics

there's something cooking in the kitchen
of the men you never see
in the dingy labs & the monkey cages where they make the HIV
you've spoken out a time or two against what they believe
this hit is done in god we trust, don't take it personally

100 grand for the prostate, tony blair should know
a million bucks for a liver mass, better watch out tony snow
it's cheaper than a kennedy job & a whole lot more discreet
john edwards' foes are cutting costs
with our special deal on families

cancer gun, cancer gun, from the bowels of the CDC
here's a list of interests, we're sure you will agree
cancer gun, cancer gun, we aim to do you in
your candidacy's been put on hold by a lump under your chin

the 80s were a busy time, getting AIDS off of the ground
& we made some green on the bird flu thing
til china paid us down
even our errors bring in cash, the army buys in bins
it's good for biological weapons so everybody wins

but cancer's been the most profitable of services we provide
we have our code of business ethics
which means we play both sides
we talk with pharmaceutical goons on a secret antidote
the highest bidder controls the polls, the rest go belly up

(chorus)

politically selectable, procedurally impeccable
medically uncorrectable, forensically undetectable
pain that is intractible is legally contractable
ethically unfeasible but financially quite reasonable
