Devon at the pharmacy drive-thru
Said, “Michael, you look pretty worn out
I thought you were living the good life
Just watching tv and lounging around?”
#PRE-CHORUS
Michael smiled back
With a hint of despair
Said, “I retired from my nine-to-five

#CHORUS
Long day at the Cancer Factory
It’s a hard job maintaining the machinery
God, I’d like a day off, but I never get free
It’s been a long day at the Cancer Factory
Long day at the Cancer Factory

Later at home, Mike took a call
His old golfing buddy, Harry, said, “What’s up?

#PRE-CHORUS
Michael laughed back
With a snort like a swine
Said, “My ball smackin’ days are over
I’m clocked-in all the time”
See...
#CHORUS
It’s a long day at the Cancer Factory
Hard job medicating the machinery
My feet want to join you, but my gut’s flowing free
Long day at the Cancer Factory
Long day at the Cancer Factory

Which means the poison in the factory
Has spread
The poison in the factory
Has spread

He tells his wife
“Thank you so much, baby
For helping me laugh at life”
’Cause it’s a...
#CHORUS
Long day at the Cancer Factory
He’ll keep the business open as long as can be
But they both keep right on laughing at reality
It’s a long day at the Cancer Factory
Long day at the Cancer Factory
#OUTRO
Michael jokes, “Who the fuck built this factory in me?”
Yeah, it’s a long day at the Cancer Factory
Long day at the Cancer Factory
