Intoxicated
Intoxicated, medicated, sedated while being elated
Not off drugs you see, but off life's instability
Getting by day by day, just trying to make a way
Hustling and bustling, ranting and raving, in this rat-raced life heart just barely
palpitating
Inoxicated on life's high, while trying to memorize what I seem to forget
mind is racing like a 747 turbo jet
Is this what life's supposed to be, so draining, so debilitating, shows no mercy
High off life that's what I say
But trying to make ends meet. oh what dismay
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, whose responsible for this un-balanced
view
This certainly should not be something new, that this is certainly satan's system
that is true
Intoxicated, repudiated, so unrelated, don't try to debate it, life's intoxication
