Haven’t you heard that I’m the new cancer? Never looked better And you can’t stand it                    (play along to the piano timing changes) Next is a trip to the ladies room in vain I bet you just can’t keep up with these fashionistas Tonight tonight you are you are the whispering campaign To them your name is "Cheap" and you look like sh-- Talk to the mirror choke back tears And keep telling yourself that "I’m a diva."         Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box at your table                         They just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin (Chorus) Haven’t you heard that I’m the new cancer? I’ve never looked better and you can’t stand it Haven’t you heard that I’m the new cancer? I’ve never looked better and you can’t stand it And I know and I know It just doesn’t feel like a night out with no one sizing you up I’ve never been so surreptitious So of course you’ll be distracted when I spike the punch (and repeat the chords) And I know and I know It just doesn’t feel like a night out with no one sizing you up I’ve never been so surreptitious       So of course you’ll be distracted when I spike the punch And I know and I know                It just doesn’t feel like a night out with no one sizing you up I’ve never been so surreptitious          So of course you’ll be distracted when I spike the punch

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson met en avant un personnage qui se sent comme une étoile dans une soirée chic, prêt à faire des vagues et à défier les normes établies. Il arrive avec une attitude provocante, se moquant des attentes sociales, et semble prendre plaisir à déstabiliser les autres invités. Au fil des paroles, il affirme sa confiance en lui, presque de manière cinique, tandis qu'il observe ceux qui se jugent entre eux. Le personnage évoque un sentiment de rébellion contre le conformisme, tout en flattant son propre esprit provocateur. Le contexte se situe dans une atmosphère de fête ou de banquet, où les apparences comptent souvent plus que l'authenticité. Ce moment où chacun essaie de se montrer sous son meilleur jour est détourné par ce protagoniste qui s’amuse à jouer avec les conventions.
