when i look around and see all the pain and misery i'm left sad and feeling blue cos there nothing i can do so i have to get away from the pain i see each day in a world that makes me cry i'm only happy when i.m high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high you may have the point of view that im wrong in what i do that im weak and immature but i know one thing for sure if every boy and every girl all got stoned around the world we'd all let live and not let die we'd all be happy cos were high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high don't bring me down i'm only happy when i'm high when i'm high
