Toothpick - High Life lyrics

The High Life I remember when I lived for candy and cartoons I also remember the first time I ate shrooms It was me, little John, Chris Vergera, and Joe We all ate an eighth at a Grateful Dead show Joe told me in slow motion it feels so good Then he turned into Peter Pan and ran into the woods I found a VW bus with the keys inside And I could see just enough to take it for a joy ride I started in New York, ended up in LA Thought it took ten minutes but it took ten days I stayed for two weeks made love with two freaks When they found out I was seventeen they made me leave That's the high life I got no regrets I do f**ed up sh** get high and forget It's so out of control it's all disrespect I might say sorry then I do it again Well I used to steel lollipops, candy and gum Sold 'em two for fifty cents in the back of the bus I was an entrepreneur went from Blow Pops to blow To t-shirts with Nancy Reagan saying "just say no" Plus picture me cutting your gra** in army fatigues Choppin' down trees 'til someone pays me to leave Then I show up at your house drunk on a lawn mower Honk the horn and tell your mom its cool to be sober I dare you to keep kid off d** cause life s**s When you're in the suburbs with a backwards hat driving a truck And the smart kids go to college to change the world Then all they want to do is come home and f** high school girls That's the high life I got no regrets I do f**ed up sh** get high and forget It's so out of control it's all disrespect I might say sorry then I do it again It go: Throw the little ticket in the back of the drawer Tell the judge don't pay me no mind Throw the little pink ticket in the back of the drawer Cause I'll be out in six days with a fine Well I realized when I get high I don't make any progress I quit smokin' for six days and I wanted to run for Congress To advance legislation For the legalization Of marijuana but I got stoned and lost my motivation It's the same sad story every time I apply for a job A piss test to see if I get high Well I do so I'm stuck in this sorry as town Where white kids trick out Hondas and drive around And everyone I know wants to be Eminem I just want to do my own sh** and be his best friend But years of substance abuse got me lost and confussed I see my toes through my shoes now I'm singing the blues That's the high life now its all regret I did f**ed up sh** now I'll never forget I was out of control I had no respect Now I'm sorry and I swear I'll never do it again That's the high life
