For several years I had been content
Taking my Antioxident
Most of the experts had seemed to agree
That life was prolonged taking A C and E
So I swallowed them down
My fears to assuage
Assured I would live to a ripe old age
Now the previous research is clouded and muddy
‘Cause someone came up with a negative study
They gave the vitamins to men who smoke
And they died much faster from bad hearts and stroke
Since I don’t smoke and I’m not a man
Cigarettes can’t kill me but the studies sure can!
