I'm sick and tired of politicians
With all their phony resolutions
And their unworkable solutions
To all this fighting and confusion
I'm sick and tired of religion
They try to lock us in a prison
With all that creepy superstition
That's why people get high
And never think about the consequence
So I guess that it was answered
But they're just trying to ease the pain
Hoping it won't come back again
It's storming in like a hurricane
And everywhere it's all leading to
We gotta think about me and you,
and what the world is coming to
Sometimes it's all too much
That's why people get high,
And if you wanna stay quiet, come here
They try to find some chances
Just to avoid the hell they're scared of
I mean their world a little brighter
That's why people get high
That's why people get high
There is no point in just working
Just to try to earn a living
We need a reason to keep living
It's too late for revolution
Just leave it up to evolution
To come up with the right solution
To all this fighting and confusion
That's why people get high
And if you're wondering why,
I'll give it one more try
We've had enough of this nonsense,
never think about the consequences
So let me tell you what one senses,
That's why they wanna get out of it,
there's suddenly no doubt of it
And when you stop and think about it
