I used to get high for a living
|
Believing everything that i saw on my tv
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
|
I used to get high for a living
|
There's lots of different reasons and i'll tell you so
|
|
Super size, large fries, big mac, coca cola
|
Go on man, pick your poison
|
Speed, weed, ecstacy, LSD
|
Man, it don't bother me cos we're all on something
|
Caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol
|
You know I'm clawing at the walls trying to get my fix
|
Prozac, ADD tablets, coke, smack
|
Now you know i am turning tricks cos
|
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Believing everything that i saw on my tv
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
|
Yeah, that they sold me
|
|
Escape, can't wait all trying to get away
|
From this place man that we're feeling
|
Can't deal, can't feel what's real
|
Lyrics
|
All trying to conceal all this time we're stealing
|
No doubt, the route you're on
|
Can't find the clout that you've been needing
|
'Til then my friend you must contend
|
With the monster that you're feeding
|
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Believing everything that i saw on my tv
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
|
I used to get high for a living
|
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so
|
|
Got links of the cheney
|
Getting crazy, getting lazy with their foreign relations
|
Starting wars, closing doors
|
Trying to bring about one quicker, man, revelations
|
Economic rational calling fouls with the workers
|
Just trying to make it pay
|
Cost cutting, head butting
|
Big business do what they like and you do what they say
|
What's wrong get along, just prolong all the thoughts
|
You got going on, on the inside
|
Appease, stand at ease, just try to please
|
All the apathy that you're trying to hide
|
How now brown cow
|
Did we get from this standing place......
|
And now we're kneeling
|
'Til then my friend you must contend with the monster that you're feeding
|
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Believing everything that i saw on my tv
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
|
I used to get high for a living
|
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
|
I used to get high for a living
|
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so
|
