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

are you happy? i am man
content and fully aware
money, statues, nothing to me
'cause your life's empty and bare
CHORUS

RIFF 1: w/ ad lib intro vocals
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
i do it a lot
i do it a lot
say, i do it a lot
