"You Can't Get Stoned Enough" lyrics

"You Can't Get Stoned Enough"
(originally by Phil Ochs)

When the troubles of the world rest upon your weary shoulder
When the wind that blows upon your face is blowin' colder
And every hour tells you you're gettin' older
No, you can't get stoned enough

And you're high, high, high
That's all you wanna do
Anyway you get there, yeah
That's alright with you
You've been warned, warned, warned
It seems that's all you've heard
But today is your trouble
Tomorrow's just a word

When your baby says she'll stick with you until the end
And then she says she only wants to be your friend
And you find yourself alone out in the street again
No, you can't get stoned enough
No, you can't get stoned enough

And you're high, high, high
That's all you wanna do
Anyway you get there, yeah
That's alright with you
You've been warned, warned, warned
It seems that's all you've heard
But today is your trouble
Tomorrow's just a word

And when you start to feelin' that no one cares
And it seems that all your good time friends have disappeared
And you reach into the night and find that nobody's there
No, you can't get stoned enough
No, you can't get stoned enough
