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
     but try, with your books and degrees
     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


OUTRO:  Riff 1 w/ lyrics

     say, i do it a lot
