John Butler Trio – Used To Get High lyrics

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 Lyrics 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 Explain Request ×
