High Anxiety

Under the spell of the trailing smoke
Following wherever I could Bogart some tokes
It’s alright for drug addicts but I’m just a man
Hitting it for anxiety, “Ere” was the grand plan

I like that this isn’t just about getting high. It’s also nicely written.

Good luck!

  Yup the baby boomers are the older generation now and can see uses for the drug besides the obvious one. Plus the parents of the Baby boomers are almost just history.
