'TOXIC WORLD" is the title track to Tym's 2005 mini rock opera. It is sung from the viewpoint of a character (the self-proclaimed President of Toxic World) who is dying of lung cancer and in his final days fears his sons will follow his same fate due to the family cycle of addiction.
lyrics
I smoked Dadubees in my car ~ My rolling steel killing jar
With a torso tight with tar I became the President of Toxic World
My blindness hid me from the sun and most of what I did was fun
Old Milwaukee wet lunch showed me brandy before nine
I got blind in both my ears ~ I got deaf in both my eyes in Toxic World
Just like premeditated genocide you only buy in jars
Mother Earth is so afraid she'll perish before Mars in Toxic World
Smile while paying tax on toxins for your breathing mask in Toxic World
Liquid courage in a can will make a mouse of any man in Toxic World
In Toxic World we choose the slowest forms of suicide
Abuses them in our bars
Everybody signs up for vacations out to Mars in Toxic World
