Analysis of the fool and the quitter .
it is the fool inside you
who likes to smoke
they know the health risk
they think its a joke
so when you are lying
in a hospital bed
riddled with cancer
fgull of regret
remember the wisest words
a man ever said
it is the quitter who is living
it is the fool that is dead
