wake up in the morning and it's hard to live
hard to live, yes, it's hard to live
and it will be a long time before shit starts to give
and every single day it's getting harder to give
but I would be up for being down with a hoe
lord knows that I got mic control
do you got mic control?
you notice your style is well original

this man, makin money, how I know
it won't be no man of me
in my bed I watch TV
I'm drunk by noon, but that's o.k.
I'll be president someday
light my cigarette and I think
how Bert Susanka[1] made me drink[2]
load the box and now pump this shit
got my greatest... hits
got my greatest... hits

this band, makin money? I don't know
is the writing on the wall?
all my friends drink alcohol
I'm too drunk to light the bong
I'm too stoned to write this song
light my cigarette and I think
how Bert Susanka made me drink
load the box and now pump that shit

wake up in the morning and it's hard to live
hard to live, yes, it's hard to live
and it will be a long time before shit starts to give
and every single day it's getting harder to give
but I would be up for being down with a ho
lord knows that I got mic control
do you got mic control?
you notice your style is well original

this man, makin money, how I know
it won't be no man of me
in my bed I watch TV
I'm drunk by noon, but that's o.k.
I'll be president someday
light my cigarette and I think
how Bert Susanka made me drink
load the box and now pump that shit
it's the Ziggens[3] greatest hits
it's the Ziggens greatest hits
it's the Ziggens greatest... hits
