High Achievers

Heroin has stigma like meth and crack cocaine

Drug users aren't all losers, they can't all be insane

But sanity is not a trait of extraordinary man

Sometimes it's drugs not necessity that't the mother of invention

Ben Franklin smoked opium when he held that lightning rod

So did Queen Victoria and the Marquis de Sade

Sigmund Freud did his best work on coca medicine

So did Grover Cleveland and Thomas Edison

Would Einstein have split the atom?

Would Carl Sagan have pondered space?

When the smartest people are doin' drugs it makes the world a much better place

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates took acid and changed technology

The Beatles' trips led to Lucy, Rita, and Eleanor Rigby

And all the absinthe that Van Gogh drank made made a much starier night

Without drugs would Munch's scream have really been such a fight? (that's not so scary)

Would Bonds have hit those hundreds of homers?

Would Lance have ever won in France?

When a record's breaking, an athlete's takin'

A drug to keep performance enhanced

So you guys are trying to tell me that if i take drugs i'm gonna be smarter?

We're not saying it's gonna make you smarter, but it might make you more interesting

Aaron Sorkin wrote his best while he was smokin' crack

Amphetamines were the favorite means of Ayn Rand and Kerouac

Charlie Dickens told the tale on opiates we know

So did Burroughs, Huxley, Oscar Wilde, and Edgar Allen Poe

If everyone was sober, could you call this country free?

Would we maintain our ethics and ingenuity?

Progressive thought doesn't happen a lot in a dry society

When everyone is doin' some it makes the world a better place to be

So smoke a joint, or snort a line, or drop some LSD

Use a bong, a glass pipe, or go strait to an IV

It's a simple case of better living in modern chemistry

When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be

When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be

So quit NA, and screw AA, and fuck sobriety

When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be
