Lyrics

LET'S GET HIGH

I got some bad news today
My cousin Mark passed away suddenly
He was one hell of a guy
But you won't see me cry, nosiree
I'll just add it to the list of things gone wrong
With my world, with my life, with my head, with this song
And you won't hear me complain
I won't be feeling no pain
Let's get high

I lost my job at the mill
My sister OD'd on pills
She's real messed
My common law came out gay
She took the kids and amscrayed
Who'd have guessed
My parents say I should rethink my life
Reassess make a plan but I don't need their advice
They should listen to me
I've got a philosophy
Let's get high

So the future looks bad
But let's not get all sad
Let's get high
We're all down on our luck
In a world gone amok
Let's get high
We all got problems but we just don't care
And you won't hear us moan about how life isn't fair
We're onto something profound
If the world gets us down
Let's get high
Our troubles all disappear
The answer is clear
Let's get high
