John Butler Trio - Used To Get High lyrics

rate me

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

I used to get high boy

(Escape, can't wait all trying to get away)

I used to get high

(From this place man that we're feeling)

I used to get high boy

(Can't deal, can't feel what's real)

I used to get high

(

All trying to conceal all this time we're stealing)

I used to get high boy

(No doubt, the route you're on

Can't find the clout that you've been needing)

I used to get high

('Til then my friend you must contend with the monster that you're feeding)

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
