a new friend turned me on to an old favorate

nothing better than a dealer who's high

be high, convince them to buy

Verse 2

(Riff 1 w/ lyrics)

seems so sick to the hypocrite norm

running their boring drills

but we are an elite race of our own

the stoners, junkies, and freaks

are you happy? i am man

content and fully aware

money, statues, nothing to me

'cause your life's empty and bare

Verse 4

(w/ Riff 2 and lyrics)

and it ain't so bad
