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 
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
