lyrics

I like to get high and go to work
And go to work

And I work and I work and I workworkwork
Like a jerk

I like to get high and go to work
And go to work
And I'm bathed and I'm shaved and I work like a slave
For minimum wage!
(Here we go)
Every morning eight a.m. it's wake and bake, wake and bake
Every morning nine a.m it's smoke a reef, say hail to the chief

I'm a truck driver, I'm a creative consultant
I like to get high and go to church
And go to church

And I pray to the Lord 'cause I'm so bored
To save my soul
Every Sunday 6am it's roll a dood, watch Scooby Doo
Every Sunday 7am it's smoke a reef say Hail to the Chief
I'm the church pastor, I'm a psychadelic clergyman

Oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah!
Oh no oh no oh no!
I like to get high and rock and roll
and lock and load
And I take my gun and I have some fun and rock and roll
I'm a big hesh - er, I'm a member of the NRA

I like to get high high high high high

I like to get mellow mellow mellow mel-lo-oh!
