SHOULD I SMOKE (Joey Molland)

Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?

Don't know what to say
You're making me better
I've learned how to pray
A change in the weather today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to lose

The day passes by
And nobody listens
Nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose

Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
