The Next High

we all be looking for the next high:

in churches and synagogues
in red light districts

in shopping malls
and cafes and restaurants

in hollywood and the 'hood
in record stores and theatres

the next diet and the next exercise
(oh you do yoga? i do pilates and i only eat
plants)

and the next big star
and the next big hit

we got self-help books
by self-appointed gurus...

HELL! YOU KNOW WHAT?

stick the needle in your arm
and you go to heaven
along with the tv evangelist
booming out:
I'VE GOT HOOOOLLLLYYYY GHOST POWER!!!!!!!
and yeah, in the end
they all say the same thing
and they promise the same thing
and why not?

we all be looking for the next high
and we all look for it
admit it or not
know it or not

smoke it

snort it

drink it

eat it

pray it

wish it

think it

and oh yeah: FUCK IT!

let's all get high.
