Half as High Songtext
von The Devil Makes Three

They say it′s getting harder, harder every day
More that we got to make now, it's more than we got to pay
Something here ain′t as it seems
How come we're dreaming someone else's dreams?
Say the grass is greener, but it ain′t that green
Here come the firefighters with the gasoline

How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
Well, I don′t know what we've been sold
But I think I heard this story a long time ago
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?


Game is tooth for tooth now, but I say an eye for an eye
And I keep one eye open for everything passing by
They say they know not what they do
But I think they do what I′m telling you
Change the range and the numbers too
Gotta get higher than we used to do

Well, how come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
Well, I don't know what we′ve been sold
But I think I heard this story a long time ago
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?

Better switch gears just for fear of everything breaking down
They say heavy is the head that wears the crown
17 and 93, did you hear what happened to old Louis? (Ooh)
Keep on pushing, and maybe you'll see, give my regards to the monarchy

Well, how come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
Well, I don′t know what we've been sold (ooh)
But I think I heard this story a long time ago
How come we gotta take a bigger hit just to get half as high?
