VERSE 1:  Riff 2 w/ lyrics

     a good night, the best in a long time
     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


VERSE 3: Riff 2 w/ lyrics

     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

     you can't understand a user's mind

     if you let yourself go and open your mind
     i'll bet you'd be doing like me
     and it ain't so bad


CHORUS
