Pot Head
Man you look like old man's eyesWhen I saw you in that roomAnd now you're on tourThey booked you in the asylumYou work so hard at being a buffoonAnd now you ain't got no incentive leftYou popped your own balloonYou wanted to be somebodyBut you ain't nobodyYou ain't got no bodyYou're just a headYou're just a potheadI heard one day they said you got so highYou ate up a chicken head and it was still aliveI have some friends who swear you did so don't denySome day you're gonna get so messed upYou'll eat the head off your kidAnd won't you be sorry, pothead.You brag to all your friendsAbout the fun you had last nightI wonder if you realize you forgot to brush your teethAnd then you'll come a bummin,SongtexteAsking for some moneyYou even tried to roll the sacred pagesAnd you burnt your lipThat lip is has a trench in itWhere that wild weed sitsSucking like a parasiteOf any sense you might have leftYou say that you are happyAnd you like stormy weatherWell I think that you're just dumbAnd you don't know any betterYou play your rock and roll guitarYou say you're gonna be a big starBut everyone in this neighborhoodKnows just who you areNo I ain't tryin' to be hardI don't mean to be cruelI'm just tryin' to say something that'll shock,You into going back, to schoolOr maybe at least realityIn this yearYou wanted to be somebodyBut you ain't nobodyYou ain't got no bodyYou're just a head Aus Songtexte Mania
