  • I gotta get this shit off my chest
    Another sucker behind a desk
    You try to tell me that you know best
    Snap your fingers snap your neck

    Sunshine has always been an enemy
    (Sunshine an enemy)
    My life a chemical insanity
    (My life will kill me)
    Sundown is bringing out the freak in me, wired
    Getting higher

    So check your attitude at the front door
    I'm really getting tired of taking
    All of your shit when I'm sober
    I'm thinking that I'd rather be stoned

    I gotta get this shit off my back
    I run in circles but I won't crack
    So sick of your politics
    Snap your fingers snap your neck

    Sunshine has always been an enemy
    (Sunshine an enemy)
    My life a chemical insanity
    (My life will kill me)
    Sundown is bringing out the freak in me, wired
    Getting higher

    So check your attitude at the front door
    I'm really getting tired of taking
    All of your shit when I'm sober
    I'm thinking that I'd rather be stoned

    Why you always waste my time I don't know
    Man I'm thinking that I'd rather be stoned

    I am my worst Epitome, wired higher

    So check your attitude at the front door
    I'm really getting tired of taking
    All of your shit when I'm sober
    I'm thinking that I'd rather be stoned
