Lisa Germano - (1994) - Cancer of Everything

I won't settle down, I can't settle down
I won't cut it out, I won't quit
I'm not trying hard, I'm not getting well
I'm not improving, I won't do anything
This is a happy song
'Cause I want cancer of everything, yeah right
And if I fall down in a face of scars, I get attention
Cancer of everything
I won't grow up, I can't grow up
I must feel sick, I sure you do
I'm not trying hard, I'm not sleeping well
I'm not growing, I won't do anything
This isn't good for me
But you just wait and see how much attention I get
Oh, I got Cancer of everything
It sure works for me
So this is a happy song
And nobody seems to care
And my shit is everywhere
Too much of this too much of that
Surround yourself with yourself
Get some attention
And if fall down in a face of scars, well I don't know
You could leave me alone
I got Cancer of everything
Yeah, I don't fell so good

@svenyargs Hey, I really appreciated your interpretation of her words, I was never satisfied by the lyrics hosted on most websites. I'm still not convinced by line 9 though. I'm not a native English speaker and my ear may most definitely betray me, but isn't she using some phrasal verb, such as "call out" or "call up" (even though I don't know what that means)?

Hi. This is a great song, but the lyrics that the song lyric services provide for it are inaccurate. Here are several definite corrections, plus one I'm not sure about:

Line 2: "cut" should be "gut"

Lines 7 and 23: "in a face of scars" should be "in a place [?] that's 'cause"

Line 9: "grow" should be "cuddle" [twice]

Line 10: "I sure you do" should be "I'm sure I do"

Line 24: "could" should be "can"

Line 26: "fell" should be "feel"

Thanks for sharing this wonderful music.
