Dsus2 Cadd9 G6/B (G) Dsus2
Take a little dope and walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain
Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly
Oh, now I'm really in control
Dsus2 Cadd9 G6/B (G) Dsus2
It all looks fine to the naked eye
Cadd9 G F6/9 Cadd9
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all.

You sign your own name and I sign mine
They're both the same, but we still get separate rooms

You can cover up your guts, but when you cover up your nuts
You're admitting that there must be something wrong
Press any button, and milk and honey flows
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall

It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all, na na no...
Don't happen that way at all.
