Used To Get High

Lyrics

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 'cause 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, 'cause
 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
 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 feeling
 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
 I used to get high, oh boy
 I used to get high for feelin'
 I used to get high, oh boy
 I used to get high
 I used to get high, oh boy
 I used to get high for feelin'
 I used to get high, oh boy
 I used to get high
 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
