I Don't Need It

I Don't Need It
(Words and Music by Billy White, Jr.)

Verse 1
They ask me how I feel so good
They act like, like it's understood
To feel this way I must subject my mind
To a chemical base of the altering kind
But they seem amazed when I say to them hey
I don't need it

Verse 2
They tell me boy you must get high
But they can't explain when I ask them why
If I lose the time how will I know I had fun
And who is to blame when it's all said and done
It’s for reasons like these I'll say no thanks if you please
I don't need it

Bridge 1
Smoking dope and drinking wine
Don't do nothin’ for me it just slows down my mind
I don't like the taste or the smell of the bars
If it's all the same to you I'll just play my guitar

Guitar Solo

Bridge 2
Getting stoned and stumbling around
Don't do nothin’ for you but put you down on the ground
If you need that to live, you're already dead
Life is too short to spend it out of your head

Verse 3
So, don't ask me, oh how I feel so good
And then act like, oh like it's understood
Because if you can't see that it's a natural thing
Then you won't understand when you hear me sing
Speaking just for myself and nobody else
I don't need it

Outro
I don’t need it baby
No I don’t need it
I don’t need it baby
No no no no no
I don’t need it baby
