Isaac Newton ate a mushroom, sitting under an apple tree
And when an apple fell, he discovered gravity
He was getting high – seeing mathematics in the sky
Everyone around the world, oh me oh my we are getting high
Socrates drank some herbal tea, felt a tingle in his mind
And created a whole new philosophy, on just the question “why”
He was getting high, opening up his Mind’s Eye
Everyone around the world, oh me oh my we are getting high
Galileo smoked a funny plant, looked up to the stars to see
That it was the Sun and not the Earth at the center of the galaxy
They said you must be crazy, Galileo you must be high
The Pope had him tied to the stake, so they could watch him fry
He was getting high, opening up his Mind’s Eye
Everyone around the world, oh me oh my we are getting high
Now look at Jimmy Buffet, He’s living on Palm Beach,
Writing Music, Books, and Movies – it all started with a little spleef
Remember in San Francisco, there was an explosion of LSD
And 10 years later those tripped-out geeks would make Silicon Valley
They were getting high, opening up the Mind’s Eye
Everyone around the world, oh me oh my we are getting high
[Awesome guitar solo]
John D Rockefeller he saw oil shoot in the sky,
He said, “With this, I’ll rule the world – I’ll be so goddamn high”
“There will be no competition from alcohol or hemp seed”
“Prohibition, Reefer Madness, I’ll stamp out all those weeds”
I’ll be getting high, a “High and Mighty” kinda high,
Getting drunk on Absolute Power, a “Rule the World” kinda high
The CIA looked at cocoa leaves, and said, “This won’t do the trick”
“We need something way more toxic that will make the people sick”
Let’s make it concentrated, so we can get the people hooked
They will never know what hit em, because their minds they will be cooked
We’ll be getting high, a “High and Mighty” kinda high
Getting drunk on Absolute Power, a “Rule the World” kinda high
The Ruling class had a meeting, said you know we gotta stop
Those people from opening up their minds, or our bubble is gonna pop
We’ll make all those plants illegal and throw the people in the clink
And fill their minds with nonsense, so that they can’t even think
We’ll be getting high, a “High and Mighty” kinda high,
Getting drunk on Absolute Power, a “Rule the World” kinda high
Surveillance cameras everywhere, an eye up in the sky
We will rule the world with an iron fist, and show those f–kers who’s high.
We’ll scratch each other’s backs, because, you know, we are the best
We’ll punish all our enemies, and we’ll wipe out all the rest
We’ll be getting high, a “High and Mighty” kinda high,
Getting drunk on Absolute Power, a “Rule the World” kinda high
